MSRP on the two differs by about $1700 US. $3799 vs $5499
The 9450 has free arm capability; the 6700 does not.
The 9450 comes with an extension table; the 6700 does not.
The 9540 comes with a ruler foot; the 6700 does not.
The 9450 comes with a couple additional feet (like HP2 Flex) that the 6700 does not.
The 9450 has an 11" throat; the 6700 has a 10" one.
The 9450 has automatic tensions; the 6700's are manual
The 9450 has pull-out lighting; the 6700 does not
If they are truly close to the same price from the dealer you're talking with, the 9450 is the better deal for a quilter.
