I'm not certain, but I think the 350 is the PE for the new Bernina B Series. Dunno price. I'm also addicted to IDT, I have it on my Babylock Quest Plus, which I think you could get for $1000 now. Feel free to PM me if you have questions about it. There's also the very similar Janome 6600 which has Accufeed, another style of built-in walking foot, a 9" harp, auto-cut (which my BLQP doesn't have), but no free arm (which the BLQP does have, that's why I chose it). The Elna 7300 Quilting Queen is a near twin to the 6600. The new Pfaff Smarter C1100 Pro is also similar, with IDT, auto cut, low bobbin sensor. It's new and $1500 now, but might get cheaper with time. I'd say the Janome or Elna are worry free choices if the dealer is trustworthy. Older machines with solid reputations are another, less expensive choice, and you can always pay for whatever lessons you need. Happy hunting!
