I have been doing some research on the Viking 7 quart and ran across this! http://www.pleasanthillgrain.com/magic_mill_dlx_mixer.aspx It looks like it would be awesome!!!! And it is 8 quarts! 
Just wondering if anyone on here had heard of it or better yet owns one. I would appreciate any and all opinions.
TIA

I don't have that one, but I do have the 7 quart Viking, and LOVE it. Makes my KA look/work like a toy!!! But I still love my KA.
I have also been looking at that mixer. I posted a thread asking for input on it but did not get much response. I think the people on this sight are very loyal to KA. I hope you get some more input!
Thanks ladies. I am now very torn between the Viking and the DLX. I found a store that actually carries the Viking but have not found the DLX in a store. Call it silly but before I pay that much for a mixer I want to touch it and see it in person.

i love how the top is open, you wouldn't have to raise your paddle (or try to squeeze in between) to add ingredients! and personally, i hate my KA so this is a welcome topic! thanks
I don't have the Magic Mill... I do have the 7-quart Viking and I'll tell ya - one of the features I absolutely LOVE about my Viking is how the bowl tapers toward the bottom. This way, I can do smaller batches without the mixture spreading out all over the place. Looks like you couldn't do that with the Magic Mill.
The thing I think is so cool about the Viking is it has back wheels to slide it on the counter top. Do they really work?
Absolutely YES!! I keep my Viking on the counter, but the head will not clear the cabinets above when tilted back. So, I have to roll that baby out every time I use it. I actually roll it out and turn it sideways. Very easy to move around. Really helps with the cleaning, too.
Ditto everything DianeLM said about the Viking. Sorry I wasn't as informative! The wheels are awesome, and the tapered bowl is a great feature as well. It's a great mixer!
