Herself agrees with you- she loves her Bosch for the exact same reasons and then some. In fact she had the maximum powered counter KA and it struggled to mix her heaviest cookie doughs. Her Bosch mixed the same dough with zero problems.

I love my Bosch compact. The reason I like it so much better than the KitchenAid, is because I can actually get my ingredients into it, without having to stop the machine and get the head out of the way. If I don't do that, I have a mess all over the place.
It also does not mix bread nearly as well as the Bosch, which is cheaper. The KA really struggles with some of the whole grain breads.
The Bosch is also light enough that if you have limited counter space you can put it in a cupboard. The KA must stay put. In fact, it is light enough to take in your camper. terry r.
