This is exactly what happened to me! The Pfaff Expression 4.2 was priced at $1999 and the Performance 5.0 on sale for $2299 with 48 months free financing. I tested each and really liked the 4.2 (I was a bit scared of 5.0 at first)! But the more I played with them and with the low difference in price, I sprung for the 5.0. They are BOTH great machines!
