The beginning of this year I decided to start saving up for a Juki f600. Once I started reading about the dx7 I decided that this is the machine that I now want! Another machine to think about that was released at the same time is the Juki dx-2000qvp. From what I understand, it is the same machine as the dx7 with a different paint. It comes with even more extra feet and a cone thread stand. Not sure what the price difference is between the two machines yet since the 2000qvp cannot be sold online per Juki's rules...must be bought at a dealer. If and when I finally get ready to buy, I will be looking at both at my dealer before deciding.
