wierd. I must have jumped the gun on that one. I already went with the slightly smaller unit for 169.99 the only differences are a smaller bowl by a 1/2 quart, 25 watts less power and no pouring shield. I'm a little bummed that i couldn't get the beefier unit but this is a present for my new wife who loves to bake. I'm sure that you can't really go wrong with a kitchenaid product regardless of the size.
Thanks!
