I had a tilt-head (KA Artisan Empire Red) for many years, and it was perfectly serviceable, although eventually the hinge became loose and the paddle started scraping the bottom of the bowl. I upgraded to the bowl-lift (KA Pro5 Blue Willow) for a more powerful motor and a bigger bowl.

I don't really find it more difficult to add ingredients from a small bowl or measuring cup, and the bowl-scraping is only slightly more inconvenient. I prefer the stability of the drop-bowl, and of course the fact that I no longer get flecks of porcelain chipping off of the bottom of the paddle mixed into my dough.

Oh no denying, there are horrible fondants out there, but there are less horrible ones too, and if you were doing the caramel coating it might not be noticeable because of the richness of the caramel. You'd have to roll it pretty thin to accomplish that though, which would be a challenge.

You can get isomalt at http://www.lepicerie.com and probably some other niche food shops.

also, maybe an isomalt caramel would work better?

What about a thin coating of marzipan or fondant? Do you think the additional flavors would ruin the effect?

Alternatively, what about rolling the apple balls in crushed nuts beforehand (possibly followed by a brief bake)
