I tried it out and it is a very nice machine, but I was interested in the laser beam on the Crescendo. He would give me a really good price on either of the machines. (I think) The Crescendo is $3600. and the Janome 8900 is $2497. including that nice big white table it fits into with drawers on the side. I guess my question is - do you think the Crescendo is worth $1200. more? Thank you for any help you can give me.
