Price wise ... the HQ Sweet 16 was priced slightly lower (at least at the show) which makes sense because there is one less middle-man so to speak.
Thanks DHMom ... I did some phoning the other day and found out the Tiara won't be in Canada til February.
Sweet 16 is here, though the three dealers I called, NONE had one to show me ... and won't for awhile as they wait til they have atleast 3 models to bring in, as then HQ pays the freight.
OK, do you want to sell one or not?
Oh ... if I want one they will get it in ASAP .... nope, sorry folks, I don't buy without some touchy-feely!
And with all that, I really wonder how much they know the machine?
Or will they be there to service and support as I need it?
Though, I really am intrigued and would so like to take a test drive!
