I have had my 7700 for a year and a half. Paid $1999 with an old kenmore trade in, I love the machine, BUT there is one drawback for me, I have a little hard time changing the feet(the screw is very close to the light) BUT even with that I would not trade it. Love the 11" throat. I used to have the 6500, and loved it (kept it) but for FMQ the extra inches are great, I do all my own quilting. Good luck with making a decision. I also sew everyday (in the winter) usually many hours a day. And have not had problems, But I give it a break in the summer t golf.
