Elna's are good and some LQS's may be having a sale on them right now. There's one in a town nearby my house that was lowering their prices by $250 to make room for the new model and also discounting their floor model. That brings the price down quite a bit. If there's a store that has machines on sale this would be a great time to give her a gift certificate so she can pick out her own and possibly get more for the money.
