  I registered for a KitchenAid.  My mom and FMIL have KitchenAids that I love baking with.  And I really love the classic look of the KitchenAid.

  [QUOTE]Ditto PP.  FI loves to cook and insisted on KitchenAid.  I did insist on a yellow one, though :-)

  Another vote for the KitchenAid.  I have the Artisan as well...didn't register for it, but received it as a birthday gift a few years ago.  I have nothing but RAVE reviews for it.  I don't have a single plastic piece, and though I most often use the paddle attachment, the whisk attachment has worked very well the few times that I've used it.  My future mother-in-law actually has her mother's--it's held up very well over the years.  I don't think you'll be disappointed with the KA.  I'm a big baker as well, and I'd never even considered the Cuisinart.
  
  Good luck!

  Has anyone tried the knew flex edge beater?  It fits 4.5 and 5 qrt tilt head models
  
  "The KitchenAid Flex Edge Beater scapes the sides of bowl while mixing. This Kitchenaid Flex Edge Beater Fits both 4.5 qt and 5 qt tilt head Kitchenaid Stand Mixers. Compare this item to the "Beater Blade" made by a different company. Unlike the Beater Blade, this Kitchen Aid Flex Beater will not void your warranty, as it is made by Kitchenaid themselves. The Kitchenaid Flex Beater also has a flex edge on only one side of the beater to avoid premature wear on your Kitchenaid Mixer head."
  
  Prices vary but I've seen from $27 to $30 but retail list price appears to be $39.99

  I have the kitchenaid at home, but also like the breville stand mixer.  i know it's sold at williams-sonoma, but not sure if it's anywhere else yet since it's fairly new.  it has a countdown and countup timer, more horsepower, and a sleek stainless steel finish.  i think it looks like a good blend between the cuisinart and the KitchenAid

  We have the 1000 watt Cuisenart.  Bigger bowl, more power than any of the KA's.  LOVE IT!

  There's no comparison - KitchenAid all the way!
  
  I'd recommend staying away from the super flashy colours though. KitchenAids are so durable that they outlast trends.

  I have the standard self standing KitchenAid mixer for baking and I love it.
  
  I use my Cuisinart more for chopping, slicing, grating, etc.
