. I'm not exactly sure which model to get,so I thought why not ask the experts who use them.
I have the Artisan 5 qt. I find it adequate for a family of 5. I wish I had gotten the bigger one since I do a lot of baking in bulk for school functions etc. So far it seems to handle what I throw in it.
Good luck and don't forget to get the color you want, that's the hardest part! 
I also have the Artisan 5 Qt. and as a home baker I find it an absolute dream. Best of luck in your decision
After 5 glorious years with my 600 series KA
it finally died. I called and they told me they
were sorry. Also, that when you run them for
long periods of time you can run down the motor.
I bought another KA 600 and still love it! If
I was busier, I would get that big beautiful
HOBART, but that's another cake story.
Good luck and have fun shopping.

i have the 6 quart professional and i love it! i double and triple recipes all the time and it can take it. congratulations on your mixer! it is an exciting day when you plug that new mixer in! watch out though...you will be wanting to make everything in it!
Well, I have three. I have a 6 quart and a really old (given to me by my friends grandmother) 5 quart at the shop and at home I have the 5 quart Artisan in red. I love them all!
I just got the Professional 600 KA on Friday. I just recently used it and immediately fell in love!!
Good luck with your choice. Finding out which model you want isn't the hard part. Deciding on the color is!!
