I bought the machine! The previous owner had upgraded the software and purchased some additional hoops. (Macro Hoop, RE Hoop, Special Edition Upgrade including Accuquilt Hoop). The machine is pristine. The dealer gave me a year warranty on the electrical components including the board so I felt better about purchasing it. I have school work to do so I'm waiting til the weekend to set it up and start playing. Thanks for all the feedback - it was a huge help.
