Some uses do cross over but I'd suggest going for both. The attachments for the KA can be compared to what the Food P. can do before you purchase them. For sure get more measuring bowls /cups and ones with spouts on them [ Pyrrex ] for mixing and/or pouring. I've got them ranging from 2 cups to 4 cups to 8 cups. These are esp. .good if you are doing muffins and the like and can control the amount of liquid flowing out. Do have more than one set of standard measuring cups as it helps not having to wash out certain measures needing multiple use in the same recipe. The same goes for measuring spoons. Can't wait to see what shows up on Monday....President's Day. What pressure! Good start to this project.

You need to decide if its worth the space on the countertop and the money. If you bake and make desserts, it might be worth it. I primarily use it for making dough, whipping egg whites, and grinding meat / making sausage. Peter, a Kitchenaid mixer is a great timesaver for certain kitchen tasks.

Love that you have shears on there... so good to have. If you get a food processor, you can eliminate the need for a grater. I love my microplane zester - use it to zest lemons, oranges and shred hard cheese. Have fun!
