I got my 18" tin Lizzie sit down at a quilt show for 2999.00 including shipping...Tin Lizzie has a larger work table area and one other thing to be aware of is there is not as much to go wrong with it as is the sweet 16....The sweet 16 has a lcd screen which could go bad...I was in aLQS yesterday that had a Sweet 16.....I tried it and am glad I had gotten the Tin Lizzie
