I still think the 1 year old dealer machine is a much better deal, even at the higher price
I hope you get what you want, too. And have a great experience doing so! And I hope the info in this thread will help others in their decision making.
Thanks! I almost bought a sit-down Innova at a quilt show because I instantly bonded with it (it was an OMG moment - and I played and played and didn't want to stop), but I really hate doing the quilt sandwiching and we were moving within the year, so I held off and do think I'll be going the longarm route. Fortunately, I'm less than 2 hours from a really well-regarded Innova dealer that usually has a number of options, both Innova and other brands, available used.
