I know we have members here who work at shops that sell Bernina so they could probably answer better. I have a much older Bernina (Virtuoso 153 Quilters Edition). I got it back in 2002 and it is still going strong and I love it. If you buy from a good, reputable dealer you should get a class or multiple classes to familiarize yourself with the machine and most of the more commonly used features. I know when I bought mine, my dealer offered these and it really was great. I learned a lot in the class that I never would have figured out on my own or if I could, it would have taken me a long time and probably a great deal of frustration. I just looked on line and saw a price quoted of $4,500 for the 570 which sounds about right.
