i've used a chinese-made atlas copy for years and now i want to get the real thing. are they equally good? or is there a reason to chose one over the other?

 

any input would be appreciated. thanks!

follow up question: what about size? is there any reason to get the bigger one?

I used to own the Imperia (about $60) and gave it away once I got the past attachment for my Kitchenaid. Never used the Atlas but GENERALLY, I don't find Chinese made products to be made very well

I love my Atlas. I have a KitchenAid mixer but won't buy the pasta attachement because my Atlas works so well.

 

My only problem with the Atlas is some attachements are hard to come by. I have been trying to buy a large ravioli attachement locally for at least a year with no luck. Haven't really tried online.

We use an imperia and it's working well. Seems very durable. As for the Ravioli attachment: I don't particularly like it. It makes very small ravioli and the sauce has to be very fine (basically blended). I prefer making lasagna sheets and making big ravioli's out of it by hand
