#1 $1599.99 is pretty much the price right now at all the online dealers (at least according to a Google search - SewVacDirect, Ken's, SewingMachinesPlus, etc). That's the current, non-special Costco price as well. $2299 is likely the MSRP that no one ever pays.
#2 Be sure the dealer would actually honor the warranty on the machine if you bought it at JoAnn's. Many will not if you did not buy the machine from them so you would have to pay for any warranty-type repairs/service that would normally be covered by a selling dealer.
