That’s the dream. A mixer that can break my fucking arm. A mixer that commands respect. However to be fair to the kitchenaid:

Brand new kitchenaid professional 7qt: $550 Brand new Hobart n50 5qt: $4,500, though pre owned is cheaper (like 12-1500 for a very old one which tbf works fine). Used kitchenaid is also cheaper though, like $300-400ish
