(And would appreciate if you could email me answers, or let me know that you've answered them here.) You mention that the PowerPrep (14 c.) is not suitable for small batches. Is the Elite better with those - or only because you use the smaller bowls? (Do the bowls work independently or all have to be stacked together inside to work - all 3 in to use the small one, etc.?) What about the DFP-14 - will it handle smaller loads? Does the PowerPrep have the same very small continuous feed tube that the DFP-14 does? Does the Elite have a larger oval continuous feed tube? (Pics appear that way.) Does the dough setting make a big difference for doing doughs? Here's my situation. I have a Bosch with a food processor. It (FP) is not large enough for our large family and recipes I want to make. (Fine for shredding cheese and cutting small amounts of things.) (I also do large dough amounts in Bosch - but pie crusts and such are easier/ faster in processor.) I'm afraid the KitchenAid (12 c.) won't be large enough - and don't like that it has a very short center. I'm thinking that will greatly limit the true capacity for me. I like the DFP-14, but HATE that little bitty continuous feed tube, and the fact that the machine has to be disassembled for EACH item you place in the large feed tube. Any other 14 c. processors that aren't more expensive that are worth looking at for my needs? I have several questions.
