I bought the 870 and had it for about 6 months and traded it for the 875 when it came out.
I love my Sapphire 875. Its a wonderful machine, has a 10" throat and tons of stitches. You need to go look at www.husqvarnaviking.com so you can compare the different machines in the Sapphire line.
Take a test drive with your fabrics and thread.

I have the Husqvarna Viking Topaz and the Diamond and they both have the 10" throats. Of course I paid a little extra for the embroidery capabilities. I just love the Vikings; would never have any other computerized.
The Sapphire 875 is my only computerized machine. I really like the Topaz and the Diamond too. The Sappire was in my price range, the employee discount made it possible. I am mostly a quilter, so the 10" throat was
just what I was looking for. I have older Berninas, but
they have a 6.5" throat; making machine quilting a large
quilt difficult.
I really wanted the Diamond, but couldn't afford it in this lifetime. :o)
All of my others are mechanical electric or treadle machines.
