I have the Artista 200 upgraded to the 730, which as I understand it means that software was added for higher functionality and the BSR. I love the machine, the stitching is perfect and I've had fun with the embroidery. It's an extremely robust machine and it's easy to FMQ using the BSR. I bought it from the original owner and have used it for about 3 years...no problems. However, I'm thinking of selling it and upgrading to one of the newer machines just because I like change and I already have 2 other Berninas and a Janome. I would like to have a larger harp as it does get tiresome pushing a lot of cloth through the machine. I won't buy anything but Bernina (the Janome was a gift.)
