I don't know what the msrp is but that sounds like a very fair price! I'm looking around for a new machine myself but I'm after something with a long neck. I know the Dreamweaver has an 11" throat. I'm going to be selling my barely used 4500d to help fund the new purchase (and downsize to a Janome 350e which oddly enough was my first embroidery machine. I'm going back to where I started lol)
I know you are going to have fun with your new machine!
