Hi,
Since we wrote in this post I have purchased a Babylock Symphony and I LOVE IT!!
It's basically the Babylock Espire with a new name and a few added features. It's also a lot like my Elegante 2 in many ways, no embroidery but some more quilting features.
I have only had it for less than two weeks, but I sure do love it!
I keep it at the quilt shop that I work at as we work on samples there. It's a wonderful machine!
Just wanted to update this post and question.
