I have been looking at them, too. I'm not sure I can let go of that much money for a sewing machine.. I'll have to do a lot of thinking on this one.

I feel the same way, so I'm thinking if they are ready to come out with a new or updated model, then some people will trade up and I can buy a used machine with many bells and whistles. That's what I've done in the past and I've never had a minute's trouble with a used Bernina. I'd really get good use out of the stitch regulator but can't outfit my current machines with it. If only I could find out what's on the horizon.
