Good luck with the Bosch! I love mine! I think you will feel the same. I thought the slicer that fit the big bowl was discontinued too. Looks cool! Instead of the dinky plastic dough extender, look into the one-piece stainless steel dough hook. It works like a charm. Add a few of the plastic protectors that fit on top of the column they are cheap and work for keeping the dough from entering. (large batch concern only)
GW,
I'm definitely not new to the BOSCH Universal Plus. I've been using it for years, first the regular model and now the black edition. The quality, power and workmanship is outstanding, imho.
And no, the dough hook extender will not break. It's a tough piece of accessory. I can't comment on the Pro dough hook, whatever that is, but I've tried to use one of the dough hooks from the Nutrimill Artiste but it ended up touching the walls and bottom of the Bosch bowls.
I agree with Gumba to buy a few of the dough gliders if you plan to use the bowls with the column in the center.
For very large batches I prefer the bowls with the hook on the bottom. 15lbs of dough out of that one gives me roughly 22 dough balls.
