I can't speak about the 2 you have looked at, but I just bout the Babylock Crescendo (and the Brother Dreamweaver is the same). They have the 11.25" harp and I LOVE IT. Also has laser which I am using...didn't think I would care that much..but it is helpful! Just to add more choices!
It is priced more like the Bernina though, but I bet when their new machine comes out in August...the prices will drop.
