I am happy to report that I traded in my 6600 that was 4 yrs old plus the small table that I purchased for it, and had to pay only $1500 for the Horizon. I have a great dealer. Of course I have bought 4 machines from him in the last 4 years as well. 4 yrs ago, the 6600, then last year an embroidery machine, this year a lower end machine for my daughter, and then the Horizon this May. I love mine. Glad I made the trade. Hope you all can manage to do it also when the time is right for you. You won't regret it.
