I was recently searching for new machine also and was frustrated with the lack of price information available. Almost all the info I got was word of mouth from quilting friends. I talked to lots of people with all different brands of machines including a girl in one of my quilt classes who purchased a Janome online I think through Amazon? I ended up purchasing a baby lock from a nearby dealer. I love the machine and am super satisfied with the service I got at the dealer. Plus I got a lifetime 20% discount card for any items in their quilt shop and they are only 10 minutes from my house. :-)
