I found a Bernina that was a floor model but cost about $4000. I went on eBay and bought the exact model for $1400. I had used this machine in a class so I knew what I wanted. Never been in a shop in 6 years. Check out the machine first and make sure it has all the features you like. I wish mine had the auto thread cutter. No regrets for my Bernina, one of the best made.
