The problem I see with the Esante is the limited technology. From what ive been told by a couple of owners is the cards are becoming dinosaurs and very $ if you find them. I have a friend who got one a couple of weeks ago and is already frustrated with it. I really like being able to use flash drives. I go to classes once a week and just throw my flash drives in my bag and go. No cables or computer necessary for class. With Esante you have to be tied to a computer in order to get designs into the machine. Not too bad if you always have your sewing machine next to the computer or a laptop. Look at the Ellageo. More current. Im sure the Esante sews wonderfully but...
I love my Ellageo
