Here is my dealer/LQS website. They have new/used machines. I bought my Ruby which is a lot cheaper than the Diamond but not alot of difference considering my budget needed to be considered. You can go to Vikings website and do a comparision on their machines to see what the differences are in them as far as features and then look at the prices. I love my Ruby and know it'll be along time before I outgrow it or even learn to use it all. I go to classes each month and just bought the 5D Pro software because I love the cutwork needles and want to create my own plus I want to do the portraits and some other things it'll allow me to do. I love the large hoops; the Diamond only has one hoop larger than what mine will take. It's hard each month to make my payments but I'm so glad that this was my treat to myself last yr. When my ex walked out I decided I was treating myself to something good and I don't regret it.
