Buying from a dealer is the way I always go, but wannaquilt1 sounds like you don't need a dealer because they work so well. And the difference in price is $180. That's quite a bit of difference in price. I would try them both out and see which one you like more. See if one has more features than the other and if you need the extra features or if you can live without them. $180 could buy you a lot of fabric.
