My husband bought me a Babylock Decorator's Choice a year or two before they changed the name, I can't remember what year it was, but I do remember that it was on sale for $1,100 (canadian). I liked it so much that a few years ago, I went out and got the smaller model "Grace". I would definitely buy another DC at that price. I have never had any problems with the Decorator's Choice, and have been extremely happy with it.
