Keep your eyes on your local Craigslist! I found a 3 year old Gracie pinnacle with every bell & whistle available to it for 400 bucks. A few weeks before that I found one for a friend, also a grace but not sure which model but it was wood (where mine is metal) but it also came with a Juki mid arm that needed to be serviced. She paid 500 for both and another 80 to have the machine serviced.
