I think it is worth the money for sure and if you see it and fall in love with it then go for it!!

I have the 66-6 and didn't realize it's got the backtack feature (I haven't opened it and started using it yet. Have to rearrange some furniture first.) My cabinet is the 40, plainer than the one pictured. That's a real nice cabinet!!! I'd go for it if it's minty.
Billy... where can I get those plates to cover the feed dogs? I want to buy some... and what do I need for a foot to FMQ on the 66-6?
Thanks!
