Default Kitchenaid mixer questions and comments

I am Jonesing for a Kitchenaid Professional 600 mixer, and I've been
looking at ebay listings for one. The Kitchenaid company sells
refurbished units there, and they make a disclaimer that the
Professional 600 is not the Pro 6 that comes with free shippping. So,
this begs the question, what is the difference between a Professional
600 and a Pro 6? I have seen the former sold everywhere, but I have
never seen a model or box called a Pro 6.

On to the comment...The Professional 600 retails for 499, but almost
always is on sale for 399. On ebay, the final auction price is around
300, and with shipping it is around 330. So, your savings is about
$70, for a unit in a color that you probably didn't want in the first
place. I don't think this is a great deal, and I think that buying
new from a retailer or online might be a better choice, unless you are
just purchasing the unit for pure utility. Just my thoughts.
