Thanks, Laura! I did think about the DX-2000qvp and it does seem to be the same exact machine. My local dealer said the MSRP on the DX2000QVP was $2000, which seemed really high to me. Another dealer, slightly further away, is selling the DX7 for $1400. When I asked why the prices were so different, she said it was because "the DX2000 came with a lot more feet" but the dealer selling the DX7 for $1400 listed the exact same feet. Worth shopping around!
