I, too have the Brother PE770, along with another more expensive Babylock. While I love the Babylock, I mainly use it for larger designs. If my design is 5X7 or 4X4, I prefer the Brother as it is easier to use because of being able to use the USB stick. My Babylock Esante has to have the computer plugged in, as someone else mentioned. Go for it - they are not expensive and you will definitely enjoy it. Redwork is so pretty!
