I have a BabyLock Esante. It is not all that expensive, compared to the Ellisimo, but it does everything I need. It talks to my computer and has a 6x10 stitch area. I do wish it cut the jump threads, but for the difference in price I will cut them myself. I use Palette 6.0 software to create my own designs or edit the ones I buy. The machine is a lot of fun and the possibilities are endless....
