As much as I want one, I'm going to wait until the hoopla dies down...for two reasons i) I just had unexpected shoulder surgery this past Tuesday, so, no quilting and no paycheck for the next 12 wks...and 2)the price will stabalize within the next 12 months. When the 6600 came out, it was the same thing...price varied from $1899.00 to $2499.99 and after 6-12 months the price evened out...I paid $1899.00 for mine.
