I had the Ellageo before trading up for the Ellegante. It was a great machine but I was thinking the price was a bit high till I read what all is included. This machine was introduced back in the early 2000's so depending on how many used stitches it has on it and how well maintained it was, it might be a good deal with all those extras. I upgraded because I wanted a larger hoop size. If you think you might enjoy embroidery you might look at machines with larger hoops 1st.
