KitchenAid mixers (and others)

Hey all, does anyone know anything about KitchenAid mixers? I was thinking of investing in one for some heavy duty dough mixing now I make my own bread. I knew they were expensive but I got a bit of a shock when I saw they were £385 in John Lewis

Well if that's what they cost then that's what they cost, but I've looked online and it looks like there's a couple of models which appear to be identical. Only hitch is the prices range from about £140 right up to £400. Anyone know if there is actually a difference or is it just the department stores cashing in on mugs like me?

I don't necessarily have to go for a KitchanAid one, but there don't seem to be any other brands that are the same quality or durability. Any recommendations for heavy duty mixers appreciated, domestic or professional and I don't mind second hand

Edit: I guess one reason I'm posting this is because I might get a KitchenAid secondhand on eBay, but I don't want to bid £250 for a machine that doesn't actually cost that much to buy new :/
