I bought the Laura Ashley model back in September. Got it for a good price at a large quilt show. It is a great machine- easy to learn on- it is said to be comparable to the Babylock Symphony and I have heard the same company makes them. I also have an Brother Innovis NX400 and love it as well. I have been doing alot of sewing in the last couple of years and have not had any trouble with either machine.
