I had wanted the 820 from the day it came out. It seemed like a better idea was to wait until 2012 when we were completely done with college tuitions. But, last year at Christmas it was under the tree. When I asked my husband why he did it, he said, " You love it, why not have as much time as possible to enjoy it" We never know what will happen, so lets enjoy it while we can. I have been on that machine everyday since...I love it!
