I purchased my 6600 about 2 years ago from a dealer - but it was right after the State Fair and they still were giving the same discounts - I love mine and did get the table that it sits down in. I paid a little less than $1500 for the machine and table and with some perks. I didn't take the classes offered - but I am going this next week to one of the classes because I was talking with a sales lady the other day and she showed me something my machine did that I didn't know it did - so I immediately signed up for her class.
Whatever you decide, I'm sure you will love your 6600!
