What is most appealing to me is the harp space on the 570 QE. I think I may end up with the same issue as my 1130 with the 440 QE if I don't buy a machine with a larger harp space. I love the 770 QE, but that is out of my range. I also heard Bernina is coming out with a new 4 series in September that will have a much lower price than the 570 QE, but many of the bells and whistles! However, I am somewhat impatient! :-)
