I am blessed to buy any machine I want when I want it. I recently bought a Brother Project Runway from Walmart. I love it. It has all the features I wanted for a new machine to tote about. The Bernina dealer was miffed I didn't buy a new Bernina from her (I have a nice Bernina). I told her to match the price per feature, have a 30 day return policy or leave me alone about it.
