If you use that mill for what it's engineered to do, it should suffice.
Only you can make the determination of what will suffice though.
For small, fit in your hand type parts, it's probably a decent machine. Anything bigger and you may run into problems and start running out of room to move around on your table.
If you have a rotary phase converter, you may be better off buying an older knee mill with the money they are asking for that machine. It would give nearly limitless options with what you can do on it, whereas that Grizzly may leave you with the feeling you wish it were just a "leetle" bit bigger!
What ever you decide, good luck, and be sure to take plenty of pictures!!
