Which model is right for you depends on what you do with it most often, and what you think you need to be able to do from time to time even if not very often. If you are going to be kneading a lot of bread doughs, for example, you might need a larger/stronger/more $$$ model than if you mostly make cookies and desserts. Also consider your storage space, and how heavy is too heavy for you to move it around.

If you decide to stick with KitchenAid you should know that you can buy directly from the company web site and there are some (real, not phony Black Friday shit) sales there right now.
