I love my Brothers (have two)-have you looked at Brother.com to see what each is capable of doing and what the features are of each? I found Amazon.com had the best price on my PC420 Project Runway and free shipping, plus no sales tax! I know I have seen the CS6000i on sale for $199.00, which seems a great price (I think Joann's had it at that price). I paid 450.00 for my PC420, but it still was cheaper than anywhere else-add to that free shipping and NO sales tax-that saved a bunch, too. Check out Amazon.com before buying on E-bay-shipping costs can be expensive!!
