Look at the dimensions of the two. You get more space. It is not just 2 more racks. If it is made by the same manufacturer, Bradley, the what is more important to you? More space? Saving $100? Yes, the larger one has more space and more racks but is it worth it to YOU for YOUR needs to spend the extra $100? I purchased the 6 rack and we like it. It holds a LOT of meat. How many people do you normally entertain? Do you need it? Good luck with your decision!

Two more racks so more room. If you cook for just a couple people I guess the 4 rack would be fine but I'd suggest investing the $100 for the larger smoker up front. A lot of times when firing up the smoker many people cook more than just one meal, they prepare extra to store for later and the 6 rack gives you extra room to do just that. Not sure how else to explain that the extra cost is for a larger smoker...

More racks to put meat on and to be able to have more of a gap between racks if you want to run only 4. Easier to smoke something that needs to hang like sausage

I usually am only using 2 or 3 racks, although I have used all six. I bought the 6 rack mostly because I have a friend with the 4 rack and he has to completely remove the rack and food to baste or season because the racks are so close together. With the larger smoker you can take a couple of racks out and have space to work. If you have to have the door open for extended time you are loosing temp. Basically, with a smoker, if you're looking you're not cooking! Happy cooking!

The only difference is size. We origially had the 4 rack smoker and then upgraded to the 6 rack because we needed more room - we smoke large quantities of meat at once.

I don't think it is worth the extra 100 dollars for the extra two racks, I very seldom use all four.

The capacity is the advantage. I like the larger version because I can get more product smoked for the same expense. I try not to fire up the smoker unless I havemultiple items to smoke at the same time.

The quad 4 is definitely better. It has 4 decks whereas the mixtracm pro 2 only has 2 decks. Go with the quad 4.

Compare the specs to the Beat's! You will be surprised. If you are hung up on the Beat's name? Well, then you're hung up! If you prefer to pay for lots of advertising, then you are hung up on paying for advertising! It's your money, if you prefer to pay for advertising for an inferior product, I suggest you purchase Beat's! Do yourself a favor and listen to them both. If that's not possible you will never be dissatisfied with MEE products which pass the advertising savings onto to the consumer.

I don't have the gold, but I've researched it and they both seem like top-flight machines. My Pro is fantastic and I have a blast with it. It boils down to what you're looking for and how detailed a machine you want. The Pro is very detail oriented. The Gold, from what I've seen of people using it, is a very focused, get in and go machine. Not the answer you were hoping for, I'm sure, but it's the best I've got. This is a great hobby and however you may start you will find the right machine for your needs over time.

Actually the company that sent me my mixer, did not send me the commercial one I purchased - but reimbursed me for the difference. From what I can tell they are pretty much the same. Though I'm not sure I like it as much as my 6 quart mixer. It is quieter, but feel like it has less power. As for size, it does hold a little more, but not much. Unless you are doing a lot of baking, I would suggest a 6 quart.

I am interested in knowing this answer as well. $100 difference in price but I don't see very little difference in features.

Having played on both kits (I have both), I prefer the DM6 for right out of the box performance. The SD5x has more on-board voices. however, it requires more in the way of set-up and I think the sound quality of the DM6 is superior. The pads are similar in construction and quality. Adjusting the sound parameters is much simpler on the DM6. ALSO and most important, the bottom line! The SD5X is at least 2x the cost of the DM6 while not offering any real appreciable extra value. I used both the SD5x and the DM6 for teaching drum lessons. I have owned the DM6 for well over a year and my drum students have varying degrees of skill. I have never had a single problem with the DM6 and purchased it at Costco for $199.99. I have had to replace a cymbal on the SD5x.

I did a lot of research on the GPS navigation devices available from 4.5" to 7". I tried all of them that had demos in the stores and had owners I knew let me work theirs. I found it to be a matter of personal choice as to what one likes or dislikes. Also, one can read through Amazon's and others customer reviews. I like the features of the TomTom devices. I've owned a TomTom 4.5", two 5" and now the VIA 1605 TM 6", which I would not trade for any other one. Do your research looking for the one that has the features you like and meets your needs. Keep in mind that those who own other brands are just as passionate about theirs. bob I did a lot of research on the GPS navigation devices available from 4.5" to 7".

both are quality boards. My daughter has both. Pros for Penny: My daughter feels that Penny is smoother and a bit faster. Another plus for Penny is that you can customize just about any part of Penny board using customizer on their website. Last but not least plus for Penny is that it is infinitely easier to find spare parts. Pros for EightBit: EightBit is less expensive. EightBit flexes less (not sure if it is a pro, but I'd imagine it is a good thing). And finally a real life situation: My daughter's EightBit board was run over by a large SUV. All it lost was rear wheels with top hanger of a truck. Otherwise the board doesn't have any damage or cracks. And we're talking about weight of several tons! But its been at least a couple of months since I have contacted EightBits about this situation and provide the photos of the board and they have sent me only the wheels (free, which is nice, even though I didn't ask it to be free), but they still have not sent a truck assembly (or top hanger) because, and I'm quoting, "I'm sorry, we've had a hard time finding a replacement truck. If one comes up I will let you know. I apologize for the inconvenience.". So, a manufacturer having hard time finding a replacement truck? Seriously??!

I've used and owned various Kreg jigs (K2000, K3, K4 and K5). They have gotten better with each new model. An exception to this was the K3 versus the K4. I liked the K3 better than the K4 because of the clamping lever in the front (K3) versus the back (K4). The K2000 also had the lever in the back. It is better to have the clamping lever in the front especially when working with larger work pieces. It is good to see Kreg go back to the front lever. I like the K5 best because of the ratcheting clamp. You don't get a face clamp like you do with the K4MS Jig Master System, but the Automaxx clamps are better anyway. I like the 6" better than the 3" clamp. The right angle clamp works great for assembling cabinets also. If you are going to be doing small work (1/2" or less) get the Micro Drill Guide and large work (11/2" & larger) get the HD Jig. They will fit in the K3,K4, or K5 Jigs. To make a long story short get the K5 Jig over the K4 Jig.

I think one difference might be the amount of ice cream it makes. The model I chose makes 2 quarts (almost). Depends on the recipe. I am not sure the specs on the other orthe price and can't tell you the difference being worth it. Sorry. I love this one. I did find not to turn on the cooling with the beater. That causes the first ice cream into the machineto freeze on the bottom of the bowl prior to the other and hard to remove. Turn on the beater and then add the ice cream then after a minute or so turn on the cooler button.

I actually just called the company and they said there is no difference between the two models. They just market them differently for those people who have small dogs or cats. So go with the cheaper one (small version)!

There are a number of differences, including: 1. The handle on the 6 is built in, while in the 5 it flips up.2. The 6 has a cover around the base; the 5 does not.3. The food tray is bigger and rounder on the 6.4. The 6 has a bigger juice bowl and pulp bin.5. The auger on the 6 is 8 times stronger than the 5's.6. The on switch on the 5 is on the top of the juicer while the 6 has it on the back.7. The 6 has a 15 year warranty. The 5 only 10 years.8. The 5 is about $40 cheaper than the 6.

Larry, I haven't got a clue, but excellent question. I guess if I had to take a stab at the answer, I'd say that more people buy the 6 inch version than the 12 inch version. In other words, they can gouge the hell out of us by charging more for the most popular item. I own them both and they are identical except for the length. I remember thinking the same thing when I purchased mine.

I debated this myself. I guess there is a reason why they make both because sometimes you want the smaller one and sometimes the larger one. But what I like is they are both lightweight. So if you can only get one, keep this is mind as you make final decision.

This container is much larger than ones available in the grocery store. If you want to make several batches, this is a better choice. If you want to make one batch and be done, get the one that is smaller.

if your a beginner,this one,because it don't cost that much money and you can do a lot for the size of the controller and software comes with it,but if your alittle advanced,then you might want to go with the mixtrack 2.
