I'm happy that you found what you needed! I also have a Sapphire and love it. My previous machine for 16 years or so was a Viking 400. I absoutely loved that machine and it broke my heart when the main board died. I couldn't see putting $300 into such an old machine, especially when they said they couldn't guarantee I'd get new parts. So I bought the Sapphire. I did have a little trouble at first, but I think it was mainly the learning curve. No problems with it now.
Keep eBay in mind too for bobbins. I get them there sometimes.
