Yes, that was about the same that I bought my first Cuisinart (made by
Robot Coupé). It was expensive, made of solid metal, and heavier than
hell. Unfortunately, as models changed, the bowls were no longer available
and I couldn't replace mine when it finally cracked.

I also bought my KA K5 about within the same year. Seems like that was the
year for expensive appliances. :-)
