Buying a magimix--what model would you recommend?

Finally in a position to replace my old magimix which finally broke after about 30 years. But completely at a loss about what model to go for. Can anyone advise? We are a family of five and I would mainly use it for chopping, grating, pizza dough and possibly pastry (if I can wean myself off frozen ready made pastry!). I'm also aware, as with so many appliances, that it's not worth paying extra for additional features or accessories that I would rarely use. So, would the 3200 be adequate do you think?

I have a standard one, but now wish I'd got a slightly bigger one. I was making terrine with about 1.2kg of meat, and it wasn't really big enough.

It never causes a problem if the motor is too powerful, but sometimes, with dough and meat you can have a problem if it's not powerful enough.

I have the 3100 but I wish I'd gone bigger and I'm tempted by the Kitchen Aid or the Cuisinart versions next time.

I have had the 3200 - regular not XL for 2 years. I use it for making pastry dough and cookie dough and find it is a bit small - can't handle more then 400g flour easily so have to run it a couple of times for large amounts. I'm going to upgrade to 4200XL - though I've heard the large feed might be a problem but willing to try because the existing food is a bit small for larger potatoes/cabbage for coldslaw.
