I have the Sapphire 870Q but up here I paid over $2000 Cdn for it. It is a good machine... just remember when the throat space is quoted as 10" that is the width space.... these machines still have just the 5" height in the harp area. I know there are other machines out there...can't remember the names at the moment... that have a higher and wider harp than these. If you're not doing queen size quilts... no problem.
