Chose between a $180 stand mixer and a $40 dough hook for my KitchenAid, and I'm second-guessing

My old mixer died in the middle of a 4-loaf batch, so I had to pick fast: spend $180 on a new one or $40 on a dough hook for the KitchenAid my mom gave me. I went with the hook and the bread came out fine, but the motor got hot after 10 minutes on high. Did I make the right call or should I just spring for the new mixer?
