Buying a Food Processor

My 23 year old Cuisinart just died (while cooking on Christmas Eve!), and I guess it's time to replace it. Any recommendations for buying a new one? I had a large capacity model, which I don't think I really need. I don't really know what competitor brands are like, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I have a Kitchen Aid food processor, but I also find that a smaller electric food chopper (about $ 25) is useful and saves cleaning the larger one for small jobs (chopping an onion or a or carrot, etc). I find that I use the small chopper more often than the larger one.

      I love my new Cuisinart Elite. Love the new lid locking system, the seal that allows a higher capacity of liquids and the locking blade feature.

        I love the Magimix: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/produc...

        The cheaper 11 cup Cuisinart the WS sells works ok too but the lid locking mechanism sucks. Very clunky.
