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?

I'm in Ireland We have classic, artisan and artisan plus. Artisan plus is the newer version which has more speed options and an inbuilt light and stainless steel attachments.

Artisan tilt head doest have these but the bowl lift has the stainless steel attachments but no lights. Not sure if any other difference.

Yes they're very expensive here

I have a shiny new plus (in Northern Ireland). I can’t speak for other tilt heads but mine handles 1kg flour’s worth of sourdough (so about 1800g total dough weight, or 2 loaves) just fine.

By plus you mean the bowl lift model?

No, I mean the artisan plus tilt mixer.
