Okay I can see now that you all can not see what I am seeing with the machine and I hope that when it is out on the floor for everyone to play with that they will be able to catch the subtle things that make this quite the nice machine. Take some time and really study it and you will know why
I want to buy a couple........... And yes this machine will be sought after like the Centennial in a few years.

Since I won't be around in 50 or 60 years to redeem the value because it's an anniversary model, I don't think it's worth the $$....my kids can make their own investments!
Besides...the Centenial models don't sell for more than what our moms and grandmoms paid for them...~shrug~ Sewing machines are simply NOT a hot item..look at what we get our old machines for...unless it's rare, and trust me, they'll make enough of these for it not to be rare, sewing machines aren't a smart investment.
Just my two cents.
Charlee, I have to agree - none of mine are a very sound investment unless I want them for sewing. That old $100 (+ or -) Singer 403 will do so much - it's a whole lot of bang for the buck. I marvel at how well machined those were - I wonder what those new ones look like inside... A jolt of electric isn't going to fry my 403's ability to make decorative stitches or a buttonhole. I can stick a magnet strip to catch pins right on there and nothing bad will happen to my machine... AND my old Singer machines will sew jeans material with out coughing and gagging.
