I love my 6500. IMHO, BUY IT!
When I purchased mine new at the shop, about 8 years ago, it came with the acrylic table lots of extra feet (in a handy box), plus walking foot and FM/darning foot. Of course the manual. I would make sure they all come with. Paint chipping has been one of the negative comments that I have heard (mine has some), but it DOES NOT affect the performance of the machine.
