CarrieM ... if it's only a $200 I'd sure be going for it. I thought I had all the space in the world when I jumped to the 6600. Silly me! Once I got using it, I thought, oh my another 2" would be so much nicer. Granted, one of the enticements of the Bernina is that it's even bigger than the 7700! Check what warranty you get with the used vs. new ... and maybe you'd sooner have a new one? Yes, more $ ... but this could be your forever machine, so worth it in the end

I went off searching for a table pic and here's the best I could find ...

This is the 6600 table ... nothing fancy but it's heavy and solid.
What I was disappointed in, was the lack of storage. One teeny-tiny drawer.
It has a hole for the knee lift bar to go thru. Also, a hole to reach into your machine to drop the feed dogs.
Since then I've seen other fancier tables with storage, but honestly, they were no where near as solid and stable.
I've dealt with the storage issue and have created a circle of drawers around me with other furniture I have and am quite happy with it.

I believe the 7700 has virtually the same table. Likewise the new 8200 and 8900.
