Clarisonic-Which One To Choose?

I kept hearing about the Clarisonic and how it works wonders on your skin.  Even when I asked my esthetician about what I should be using to clean my skin she showed me the Clairisonic. Since it was at a spa she said this was the professional version vs. the regular one online.


Of course being the comparison shopper that I am I couldn't just buy it and not do my own research to figure out which one was for me and what the difference was between the regular and the pro version.   It seemed a little confusing at first, so I put off buying one.  Well now I've done the research and if you are interested in buying one-here's what I found.

You can find comparison charts on the Clarisonic website, but in short the differences are mainly as follows:

The Mia 
** Smaller-sized and good for traveling
** 1 speed: normal
** 1-year warranty (website)

The Classic 
** 2 speeds: low and normal
** 30-minute rechargeable battery life
** 2-year warranty (website)

The Plus 
** 3 speeds: low, medium and normal (for face)
** Body Mode (when body brush is attached): normal and pulse
** 30-minute rechargeable battery life w/ face brushes; 20-minute life w/ body brush
** 2-year warranty (website)
** Separate control buttons to control power and speeds

The Professional/PRO 
** 4 speeds: low, normal, high and professional (for face)
** Body Mode (when body brush is attached): normal and pulse
** 30-minute rechargeable battery life w/ face brushes; 20-minute life w/ body brush
** 2-year warranty (website)
** Separate control buttons to control power and speeds 


In the end I decided to go with the "Plus" vs. "Pro". They are basically the same, except for the Pro version (supposedly only available to licensed professionals) has more color options and has low-medium-high-pro speeds, whereas the Plus has low-medium-high speeds (sans the "pro" speed. ) Then, the "Pro" version is available with and without the Body Kit and Universal Charging Cradle...hence, the two different prices for the Pro model (the "Plus" model always includes the Body Kit and Charging Cradle.) 
Let me know which one you prefer.
