Grimm is most definitely a Buffy knockoff. It's even made by many of the same people.

Sam and Dean are travelling, not static in one location ie Sunnydale

Not a significant difference.

There are basically only two main characters

There is an overall story arc, and while there was one in Buffy, later, it wasn't apparent as it is in Supernatural from the get-go

Different story lines ≠ original series concept

The boys face generally different monsters most weeks, unlike with Buffy where it's more or less vampires, vampires and, um, vampires. Oh, and vampires.

Have you seen Buffy? Robots, giant praying mantises, mummies, zombies, more types of demons than you could shake a stick at, etc.
And it's not an accomplishment that Supernatural doesn't stick to vampires. If it did, then it would be not just a Buffy knockoff, but a complete Buffy clone. It's just common sense for them to try to come up with a premise that they can pass off as original. Like Grimm.

Main "bad guy" pretty much all through the series (what I've seen of it anyway)

I found it to be highly original, and apart from some superficial similarities, would definitely not compare it to Buffy, which was a totally different animal altogether.
