I have a Bailey 13" and use it on a grace frame, I love it! I have an older bernina which I wouldn't trade for anything she does all my piecing with me. It's a hard decision to make, you really have to buy what you can afford and which machine you will get the most use out of. I personally don't think the BSR is important. Maybe you can try one at a local dealer and see If it's really worth your money for you. Good luck deciding.
