I have had the Quattro 2 for 7 months and love it!! I spend 7 to 8 hours a day now in my sewing room quilting and embroidering on this awesome machine. The only difference between this machine and the Baby Lock Ellisimo Gold is the designs that are installed on the machine. If you need info, why not join the Yahoo group for Ellisimo/Quattro owners? I learn something new every day from this helpful group.
