I'm so tempted to get this but it would just sit in the box. My currently disposal is fairly new and works great.

Insinkerator Classic, their finest
Well Jake that I think was the ultimate disposer at the time, unless Volsboy can inform us why the Hobart Kitchenaid might be better, in 1983 I bought the model 77 instead, a fair bit cheaper, and it lasted a good 18-20 years, but the promotional literature description of the Diamond Ni-Hard cast shredder ring of the Classic certainly made it sound like something special. I currently have in use the Viking 1000 version of the Kitchenaid. What is your current unit?

I just noticed I spelled Classic wrong in the title. I promise I can spell.
Right now I have an ISE Evolution Space Saver. This thing gobbles up whatever falls down it's mouth. It's going on 5 years and has never failed me.

That is a 1990's model. Not too much different from the current day ISE Evolution Prestige, but does not have the three stage grinding. I have had quite a few of the ISE 1 HP units under the ISE name and Kenmore. Had the 90's Kenmore version of that very unit, and it is a good solid performer.
I think of these particular ISE units as the "Jack of all trades, master of none." disposals. They do everything well, but nothing spectacular. For example, they grind corn corbs very well, but will leave hard round nibs that will bounce around for quite a while. Will grind fruit pits, but once again they will bounce noisy around for a while before grinding down. You have no undercutter so if you will not get the ultra fine grinding of fibrous material.
Yet, in the long run everything ultimately gets ground up. It is relatively quiet, will rarely, if ever, jam and has good longevity. An overall good solid performing garbage disposer. It will be reliable and give many years of service.
Price is another issue. You are paying 200 dollars for a 30+ year old machine. You can sometimes find a new Evolution Prestige for not too much more than that on Ebay. I personally would not pay that price for it. I found my killer Hobart KitchenAid for much less than that. If you are not in a hurry,
keep your eyes open and you might find a better bargain.

Many years ago, I bought one of those noisy GE beasts from the sixties off of E-Bay, that would grind gravel and steel. It was NOS and even the box was immaculate. I think it was about $50.00. All the original paperwork was there, etc.
BUT, when I installed it, it only turned for a few seconds before locking up. Apparently the lubrication in the bearing had broken down to nothing. Too complicated to attempt a repair, it went on a shelf.
