Nancy, good for you! I sold one of my 401's a few weeks ago as I didn't need two. I'm beginning to look at the cabinets as a negative too. Especially, if the cabinets are in bad condition. I simply would prefer travel cases as well. And the cases are sometimes as much as the machines to try and buy separately!
No way I'd ship a machine in a table either! Though I've shipped two machines in the past. It's hard work and it takes a long time to do it properly.
