I'm trying to deside between a Baumalight 3P34 stump grinder and a Miller Pro75T stump grinder. Any input would be helpful.

I don't have any experience with those, but to Add to your searches, I have a Shaver SC-50 PTO stumpgrinder that I'm very happy with. In fact I used it for my first paying job a couple days ago. Mine is rated for 35-100PTO Hp. They also have a smaller model (the SC-25) which is rated up to 50HP.
What size tractor will you be putting it on?

The Baumalight has a bigger cutting wheel, more teeth and is generally stouter.
???????
By "Stouter" do you mean more simple?
It's certainly not more stout, tough, and lacks many features. The miller main beam and cutter head, structurally, are welded boxes made of flame cut 1/2" steel plate, like an excavator dipper stick.... The Baumlight has the cutter head supported out in space on a peice of square tubing, certainly not 1/2" wall, not very robust, or stout.
And since the cutter head is just on the end of a "stick" you have no telescopic extension. That means you will need to raise the stabilizers and back the tractor up ~10X for every stump. Very frustrating, slow and inefficient....
More teeth = small chips?, costly to replace?, you only have so much horsepower in the tractor, more teeth doesn't mean much.
On that note, bigger wheel doesn't mean much either: Bigger wheel means more torque required to turn, which means slower wheel speed - since you only have so much tractor to work with.
