Yes, I did end up buying the Brother Dreamweaver VQ3000 and I couldn't be happier with it. I got it late November and am on my second quilt now. I tried Janome, Husqvarna, BabyLock & Bernina machines at the dealers before making my decision and I'm glad I did. I learned that most dealers will bad mouth their competition and outright lie to get your sale
You really have to try the machines to know what is best for you. I'm really happy with the dealer I bought from and I know she'll be there for me if I need help. I ended up spending more than I originally intended but it was the right decision - I got a lot more machine than I thought was even possible when I first started shopping
Here are some pics from when I first brought it home:
