And the new version would only work on the newer computer. I don't think I would buy a older embroidery machine. My machine is a Janome mc10001, I love it, and can buy designs and transfer with 512 memory cards. Also have customizer for simple editing, which is great. But such a shame to have digitizing software that cost 1,000. In need of 500. More. And then only windows computer.
I have not felt any need to buy extra software. I'm not interested in digitizing and the editing I do can be done on screen in my Janome 350e or 500e. I also have Customizer, but haven't tried to use it, and the editing software that comes with the 500e but it was such a pain to try to use on my laptop that I gave up and did what I needed in the machine.
I've bought 3 used machines. One is quite old and have had no issues with it what so ever. I realized it's limitations before I bought it so there were no surprises or let downs.
