The best thing is to go to a quilt show and try the various DSM. Make a list to what features you want. BUY from a dealer that is located near your home for assistance and support. Dealers mark down their models at quilt shows because they are now open boxes and they don't want to have to take them home when the quilt show is over. I have two Bernina that I bought that way and they are still going strong.
