It's going to give the Bernina 830 a run for it's money. Is the price range similar? I had an invite to the preview at my LQS but I didn't go. If my husband had not purchased an embroidery machine for me, and if I hadn't purchased the 6600 less than a year ago ... I'd consider it. But even then, not sure if I could justify the $$. I'm a practical spender. Most of the time :)
