The MD40 takes up so much counter space at 13" deep. Can the tamper be
easily removed to cut down the space required and still leave the grinder
looking good? Or would that be a non-reversible modification? Also, has
the current Rocky addressed the problem of loose-fitting lids described in
many reviews?

I just read that the tamper can be removed and replaced with a smaller
[53mm] tamper. What would the depth be with the tamper removed?

An MD40 is available at a good price [price of a Rocky]. Would there be any
disadvantages other than size in comparison to the Rocky? I only grind for
10-12 shots per week. I just spoon in the beans as I use them, so I empty
the doser every day. I have a Gaggia MDF now, but I want some stainless to
match Silvia.

Unless you leave beans in the hopper (a bad idea for most consumer
situations), the fit of the lid doesn't matter.
I've heard more complaints about the loose lid on the KA ProLine than
on the Rocky.

No, it's not. It's a good idea. Just don't leave more than 2 or 3
days' worth.
