I am super-happy with the Baby Lock Espire (now being marketed as the Symphonie). The only thing I wish she had was a built-in walking foot, but I have an add-on foot and it works well too.
I love the large throat, good light, one-push threader, built-in scissors, needle position, separate bobbin winder, speed control, drop-in bobbin, great stitch quality, not fussy with threads, doesn't pull fabric down the feed dogs and and and - I'm sure I haven't used half of what she has to offer.
