I love the quality and performance of my Brother embroidery/sewing machine. However it is a 2500D and is no longer available new. I notice that the machine you are thinking about buying only uses a 4x4 hoop. What are you wanting to embroidery? That's not large enough for me for what I do. I would really suggest that you go to your dealer and look at his machines that have been traded in. You need one that does not use cards, that has a USB port and a minimum of a5x7 hoop or larger. Good luck.
