I am in Australia and I just purchased this machine this week. I now have it set up on a bench in my sewing room but I am waiting to purchase the purpose table for it which will be released in Australia in April. I paid $6699.00 Aus dollars for it and I believe the table is going to be $1,500.00 Aus dollars. I know this is an expensive machine but with the brushless motor it is said to outlast the life of any other machine three times longer, so I figure it will outlast me. I haven't used this machine yet except for stitching a few of the stitches and I have downloaded the Acu Spark App. I will be seriously trying it out on the weekend. It looks so much bigger in my sewing room than what it did in the store!!
