Nah. I've had a DAK machine for a few years now and never felt that the
motor was too weak. (It's possible that older machines have stronger
motors, but I doubt it.)
Assuming your recipe doesn't have rocks in it, I'm pretty sure I can
adjust it to work with my machine with little trouble.
Generally you just add more water.
It's my impression that the machines that are meant to handle whole
wheat, etc., better, differ mostly in their ability to extend rise times
and such.
