I don't know if you've got a Tuesday Morning in your area, but I received their flyer today and they're selling that exact machine for the same $199.00 price. I'm not trying to lean you in any direction, but if you're focusing on this machine because of your SIL and the price, well...you can get it locally, for the same price and is it really a big steal if others are offering it for the same amount? I dunno, something to ponder...
