I have the BabyLock Espire, which is now called Symphony. When the Symphony came out I kept looking at it and thought to myself that it looked just like the Espire, so I asked my dealer. He told me that they did indeed change the name, but the Symphony did not come with the detachable thread table with the telescoping thread lead but it did come with more stitches, which I don't even use the ones on the machine now. I love my Espire and have no plans of giving it up. I have a great dealer and I think that is the key point when getting a machine, whether new or used. A lot of people can afford to trade up on a regular basis so there is always a good selection of used machines at great prices.
