must be fairly new? I didn't find any customer reviews anywhere (but the reviews for the diamond were pretty sad)
but this place reviews most models when they come out. Maybe there is some info on features here you hadn't thought about?

My best advice about any new to you machine is take your own fabric and sew some of the things YOU sew.
that stiff stuff they use to show stitches at most shops is stiffened and everything looks great on that
