Default Bernina 560 or 770?

Hey all! New here. I’m looking to get a new machine with the stitch regulator. I currently have a Pfaff Quilt Expression 4.0, and my lack of free motion skills have had me want to toss it out the window 😉 I had my eye on the 560, because it’s in my price point, but the sales lady said I shouldn’t even entertain the idea because it is a smaller machine than what I currently have. She is recommending the 770, which is way out of my price range and would be another year+ before I could get.

About me: I primarily make baby and lap size quilts. I mostly do quilts, no garment/apparel sewing, no embroidery. I primarily quilt for enjoyment and gifts, but I may start selling in an Etsy shop soon. I am set on a bernina because of the BSR.

So, is it true that the 560 would be a terrible choice for me? Or is the sales person just trying to upsell their higher model? Thanks!
