it's an old obsession

Before I ever met Jeremy I had a list of things I wanted on my bridal registry, I'm talking freshmen year of high school way back. Since I was a little kid I loved to cook, and since I knew what a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer was I have wanted one. Now I am about to finish off my registry with the biggest decision of my 23 year old life, no not kids, not buying a house, and unlike girls my age...not a boob job, I am buying a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer. But which one do I buy??The 5 quart artsian or the 4 1/2 quart classic, both have the same attachment options, but they don't come in the same color. Now...do I spend the $299.99 on the color 5 quart or do I save $100 and get the 4 1/2 quart. Which might I add would leave me money to buy a water purfier{Monroe water literally taste like dirt and I want to save money by not buying bottled water} and maybe hit up the antique shop and buy something to decorate with. What to do, what to do?. Oh and the cheaper one only comes in white, I happen to really want the Ice blue or Onyx black. Well you be the judge, here are the stats on both mixers:
