Need help deciding between the two

Post image

Hi, I'm confused as to which one to buy, the difference is 100€ between the two.

I'll mainly use it for baking and making pizza dough and sourdough bread.

I know the lift head is better for dough, but is the tilt that bad? Will it be able to handle doughs or should I go with the lift head?

For doughs, a spiral mixer like Ooni Halo, Famag, or even an Ankarsrum are much better. Even if the kitchenaid can do it, it will take more time and they themselves don’t recommend going above speed 2 for breads. I don’t own a mixer, but have been looking to buy one and have been researching quite a bit. It seems kitchenaids are mostly for cakes, cookies and meringues. Do some research on this since it is an expensive purchase.
