My feelings on this are well known - having used a KA extensively in a commercial environment and also a KW, the KW wins hands down as the most reliable, most user friendly, has the attachments you want (as does the KA) and KW is all around better quality - in my humble opinion.
Never had a KW burn out on me, gone through 3 KA motors - on a commercial machine.
This is one aspect where motor power and the parts of the machine (plastic or metal) really make a huge difference.
Sausages are very easy if you have the right ingredients, you cna put anything just about in them - but a truly good sausage will be at LEAST 35% fat, more likely 40-45%, you can buy this from good butchers, and you use pig fat.
ETA: you should be able to get casings from the butcher too, I prefer to steer clear of them though due to the horridly wasteful way they are produced in Australia. But you can also use stomach lining - it is like a clear film with 'veins' of white fat running through it, you roll them up in it, wrap them in glad wrap and poach them before frying them in the pan.
I love my KA. Kenwood pfft. I would steer clear of a sunbeam they are not built the way they used to be. Unless you can get your hands on a refurbished 1950's model don't bother.
(FYI for anyone who doesn't know Limey and I have friendly banter over KA vs. KW it's all in fun )
I have no experience with KA but have a KW and am pretty happy with it. If you decide to go with a KW keep an eye out for their redemption offers, they seem to have them pretty regularly. We got ours for $780 (RRP $1,000) and it came with blender and food processor attachments and mincer and juicer attachments under the redemption offer.
