I got mine just 2 months ago. With the holidays haven't taken any classes yet, but from what I've done on my own it performs very nicely. I'm hoping to get to classes next month, I guess I should call soon about that.
The good thing is the dealer says classes with them are free for as many times as I need to take them. Seeing all that the machine comes with is a little intimidating I just need to take really good notes and then try it myself.
Good luck and have fun.
BTW when I got mine we were "just looking".
