Price sounds about right. I watched the video and really didn't see anything new. Yes, the screen is bigger; better graphics (looks like HD), more built-in stitches, embroidery patterns, etc. But, really, how many of the stitches do we use? I have 71 decorative stitches and haven't used more than one or two. The single most important thing for me, the stitch regulator, I heard no mention of! At that price it should have one. Bernina offers a machine with stitch regulator (BSR-Bernina Stitch Regulator) under $4,000 which I would much rather have. Free motion quilting is easy-peasy with a stitch regulator...no days of practice required! This looks to be the kind of machine those who must have the best and most recent of anything will have to have! I wouldn't spend the money on it myself, but certainly wouldn't refuse it as a gift!
