Kevin, the Zojirushi Home Bakery Virtuoso (PAC20 model) has a few more "bells and whistles," if you will. This includes additional settings, like a gluten-free cycle, which is advantageous to some bakers. This newer model also includes a top heating element, which creates a more evenly baked and golden brown loaf. It bakes both 1 1/2 and 2-pound loaves nicely. If you're looking for something that's top of the line, then this is the machine for you! Happy baking! Kye@KAF
