From my experience, get a mincer. Once you get used to eating venison mince it's hard going back to supermarket stuff.

A small $80 mincer is what I started with. Needed to use earmuffs while using the thing. Was ideal as proof of concept, was very fussy and didn't like meat with too much silverskin on it. I used it until the plastic gears wore out.

One of the ~$300 chinese jobbies on trademe is a step up, quieter to run but it's worth replacing the gear box oil from new etc. Not exactly a high torque motor, but gets around that by gearing it down. I fcjked up and broke a worm wheel inside the gear box of mine.

A zeropak mincer is a step up again. Lots of small design features that all add up. Bits like an overload switch, slightly stronger mincing plate design, having a quality finish on all the machined edges. Being able to replace or fix bits is also worth keeping in mind. Craig at @zeropak is very good to deal with and will give you good advise. (wish I got a kick back from promoting him)

I've been toying with the idea for a while too. I will never do the volume necessary to justify anything expensive or that takes up a lot of space. The manual Chinese made ones in the link are cheap enough that I will probably go with one of them.

@Brad S That TC8 on Trademe which went for $350 was a great deal. I couldn't match that for a new machine but I will look after forum members looking for a new machine. Message me if you are interested in talking about a new machine and I will do my best to sort a deal for you.
