You are thinking of the old Costco model. That model was a Professional 6000HD (not to be confused with the similarly named Professional 600) and had a 1.0HP DC motor. The current Costco model is a disguised Professional 610 and has a 590W AC motor, making it the most powerful model (by 15W) in the Professional 600 lineup.
As for attachments, the Professional 6000HD (the old Costco model) used a modified 5QT bowl with flared sides to make it a 6qt bowl. As such, most 6qt bowl related attachments won't fit it but a few 5qt ones will. All other non-bowl related attachments are fully interchangeable with that model. The current one uses a standard 6qt bowl, so it can use any attachment any other Professional 600 models use.
The difference in power is only notable when you are doing larger volumes or more difficult doughs like pasta or bagel dough. This Costco model is the most powerful of the AC motor models. To get something better from KA, you would need to step up to a DC motor model which though looking the same are entirely different beasts.
The plastic gearbox housings had a tendency to crack. Kitchenaid has stopped using those in all bowl-lift models other than certain ultra-budget models for things like BF specials. Additionally it was a single sacrificial plastic gear designed to shred itself if the motor is over taxed. This is IMHO a good thing, not a bad thing.
As for the removal of the microcontroller, I have seen that on more than just this Costco model. It likely means that motor overload protection is gone (unless they accomplished it with discrete components). Alternately, the microcontroller could be integrated into the hall effect sensor. I have seen a few uC's integrated into hall effect sensors.
It is not. Costco used to sell a DC motor model around five-ish years ago but no longer do.

Btw, SlickMagic gave you the right answer and he did not disrespect you in any way. You in the other hand called him dumb. Just take a few seconds and read again what he said with a level and objective mind and you will see that you are the one that needs to perhaps be more polite.
