Have you tried out other machines for comparison? I think that's really important when making a purchase like this. I would be comparing it especially to machines that have a larger harp space (up to 11"); it looks like this one is only about 9.5". Also, be careful about pricing. The MSRP is $8,000 but I think that, even if you purchase from a dealer, the price should be closer to $5,000. Amazon has it for less than $5,000:

Why is your head set on this particular machine? Before making a decision, I would be also trying out Brother and Babylock machines in that price range. I do think the Brother Dreamweaver would be something you should look at too.
