Well I just bought it over the phone.
I talked to the owner on the phone and she said when at work she always uses the Brilliance 75q and uses a different one at home. She is also buying one with the sale and was able to give me lots of personal insights on the machine and why she loves it. She said it's better than the expression 710 but the 720 was on par with the brillance but in some ways was better. But not $900 better ya know? We talked about my needs/wants it it just felt so right.
She also told me that she suspects they are renaming it the sapphire 75 and that's why it's so cheap. She had already sold 3 since yesterday.
It will be in within 2 weeks and she will do in person training and I can go in for machine help/demos for life. I am finishing up 3 quilt tops and will use them as guinea pigs when it arrives!
