I upgraded my Bernina 880 to a Plus and love it even more. I also really like using the Bernina Embroidery Software on my laptop as a companion to it. I can do all kinds of adjustments to designs, create labels and other things. Then the software will “write” it to a thumb drive for my machine. It was quite an additional expense. But it is a very comprehensive program. You would want to take classes on using it. The pinpoint placement method And the Jumbo hoop are exceptional. Especially if you want to do a Claudia Dinelle wall hanging. I am finishing her A Child is Born”. A 55” nativity project. And I am signed up for the 2 day class to do “The Potting Shed” in June. If you have a good dealer you won’t regret the 880 Plus.
