Hi, I have a Bernina 440QE and I love mine. I bought it about 4 years ago and paid $3,400 without the Embroidery module because I did not have a decent computer to hook it up to. My sister bought both of them at the same time and she lets me use the embroidery part any time I want to although I am not so much into that. I also have an old Bernina 930 which I also dearly love and I would never give up. My husband's response when I bought the new one was "well you are going to trade in the old one right" and I said "wrong", I may need a backup. The sale price you mentioned is fabulous and I would not hesitate to jump on it. Just my prejudiced opinion. You will not be disappointed my dear.
