Thanks for all the feedback. I am going to the dealer tomorrow morning armed with quilt sandwiches and scraps for piecing!! The dealer has been very helpful and truly passionate about his products. The warranty on the show machine is the full warranty offered on a new machine. Told me to come back whenever it was convenient for me to test drive both the 830LE and the 580. The main reason I am looking at Bernina is the BSR feature. I truly struggle with FMQ and hoped the BSR would make the job easier. I am not interested in a long arm....just don't have the room for that in my home. I guess I'll know tomorrow when I try it out if the BSR helps or not.

I feel the same way HMK does. i took my vacation day left from my job
when i retired and bought the 640 bernia with embroidery. i have two
janome which i kept thank goodness. i am glad i kept them i find i sew more on my janome
then the bernia. i just like the way it sews better and so much easier to run
but just my opinion./ i been tempted a couple of times to trade that bernia
in on a bigger janome. and take my losses.
