Ouch! I feel your pain in my pocket. I have neither, but love my old Brother Ult-D machines. I've read a lot of good things about the Quattro....I even had it demonstrated at my dealer store--but he knows I have enough machines to keep me satisfied. Congrats to you, anyway.

I would say if you like both machines equally to go with the seller you are more comfortable with. If they are equal, too, I'd go with whichever is closer. :)

My wife has chosen the Brother after much soul searching.
