I just bought one in March and I got it for almost half price. The place I bought it at showed me the identical machine--only difference was the Marie Osmund on it and the plate behind the buttons. The other one sold for $1499 and the Marie Osmond one for $699. They are identical in features, but he said for some reason people weren't buying the Marie Osmund one so they really had to lower the prices. I love mine!
