KitchenAid Classic Stand Mixer or Pro Model?

I found a great Black Friday deal for a Kitchen Aid Classic mixer and was wondering if it's worth getting. The motor is only 275 Watts, compared to 600w for the pro. I'm sure it will be fine for cupcakes, cakes and muffins. But will this be powerful enough to handle pizza dough and bread dough?

I haven't used the the classic, but my guess is it will be underpowered when mixing low hydration doughs that use high protein flour. I have a pro and I can notice it struggling with dough recipes that are more substantial. This typically happens later in the mixing process once a cohesive ball is formed.
