Dick,

That's an unfair characterization. I own both a KA Pro mixer and a Magic
Mill (but no SUV). The KA is great for mixing cake batters and beating egg
whites but I've found that the Magic Mill is just the more efficient of the
two for mixing bread dough. I just can't get the gluten development with
the KA that I can with the Magic Mill without the KA seriously overheating.
Perhaps you would attribute this to a personal failure on my part. Perhaps
so. But I must ask... have you ever used a Magic Mill? If not, then any
comments you make regarding it should be suspect.

The Kitchen Aid mixer is good. Even the K45.

But if you are the sort which needs an SUV to go to the
store for 5 LBS of flour, you will need the Magic Mill, at
least.
