EXACTLY!!! How many machines can you use at a time anyway? Besides, I do not have the room to keep them so I am happy with my Janomes. The only reason I have two is that my dealer would not take my other for a trade in as it was not worth it to him, but he did give me a good deal on the table it came in so I feel it was a good trade and I do have an extra machine if I need it and decide to take it in our camper.
