I can sympathize with your quandary... however... since you already have two machines, why not just think about it awhile? As someone else mentioned, both those machines are fairly expensive. I have a husqvarna viking designer 1 (very old machine) and every time I get aggravated with its little quirks, I think about getting a new machine... but $12k+ is just mind boggling to me.... and I muddle through the embroidery I'm fighting with at that time.
