I unfortuanately know nothing about either machine, however, I wanted to comment on the "snobs"...I use to feel the way you did...but now at 61 yrs. young, I'd like to share 3 bits of wisdom...(1)"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent"(Eleanor Roosevelt), (2)When "snobs have their nose stuck up", just think of all of the beautiful things in this world that they are missing(my quote)...(3)I've learned to kill the snobby people with so much kindness it might just make them ill...
So take a class...everyone was a beginner at some point even if they might not remember it or admit to it...good luck to you... :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Naomi
