I've thought about that one because it seems to be the most highly recommended midrange machine, but it's a little pricey for me and I'm also worried it might be too large for my space. I haven't seen it anywhere for less than the high $500s-- do you think if I waited a while a used one would come up? The shop closest to me carries a different brand.
