I bought a new Janome 11000 Special Edition for $7500.00 on special 1and 1/2 yrs ago. It's a version 2. I so love this machine. It's changed how I feel about quilting. Be sure to get a copy of the warranty. Check to see if it's been upgreaded to the special edition and if it hasn't check the cost to do so. The shop and dealer i bought it from has an excellent reputation. Haven't had any problem with it but a small one that may have been my fault. Dealer took care of it right awqway for no charge. I'd check to see how much the MC00E goes for before i traded it. If u trust the dealer, go for it. You will love this machine
