I have the Diamond and believe me it is well worth the money. I got a floor model with a 3 year extended warranty included; saved me $3000. The nice thing about the Diamond is that you don't have to remove the emb. unit to sew. It gives you extra sewing bed to support a quilt or other large project. I also have the SE and love it too.
