I bought this 7qt because it was difficult for my 5qt Kitchenaid to handle a double batch of cookie dough. Although this 7qt can easily handle a TRIPLE batch I do miss the tilt head feature. I find it awkward to place the bowl  properly on the pins and it's very hard to push the bowl down into proper position. The up/down handle which raises snd lowers the bowl itself is also hard to turn. Although I do appreciate the extra power of the 7qt the 5qt tilt head was more user friendly! Perhaps with use I'll become more accustomed to it.
