I'm looking at a Viking Saphire 835 at the only dealer anywhere near me. Their price is $999, but we have not started negotiating yet and I can tell they will either come down or throw in some goodies. It has a 10 inch throat.
This all started because I was looking at a Brother PQ1500S. I have a cheap Brother that I love but would love to have more throat space. The PQ1500S has a nine inch throat and no fancy stitches. Not that I do fancy stitches. It costs about $750 from Amazon.
What do you think?
