Do you know anyone who has purchased from the Babylock dealer? I have 2 BLs, the Unity and the Elizabeth and I love them! The Symphony seems to have the features most helpful to you, but being happy with your dealer is very important too. Some people just aren't good at salesmanship, but you don't want someone who is going to give you poor service once the purchase is completed. I would really try to speak with some of their other clients. I would also tell them you are considering the machine, but the pressure you have felt to buy while researching may be a deal breaker. Good luck!
