Yep, I walked in to my LQS with NO intention of buying a machine and went home that evening with a 7700. The crazy part is my 6600 is only a year old. The deal seemed too good to pass up. I sewed on it last night. It was similar enough to the 6600 that I've skipped the lesson, although I might go in to ask a couple more questions.
Congratulations on your new baby!
