I think it looks like a wonderful machine, and would consider myself lucky to have one. I like the other brand monster machines as well (Luminaire, etc). I don’t worry about the size too much, as it is not a machine I would take anywhere. Just me and my big baby sewing along in my sewing room. I quilt my own quilt sandwiches and would find the giant hoop to be pure luxury. The integrated BSR will be super for ruler work. The large screen good for my old eyes. And the power for handbags and jeans. It is a Do Everything machine to me, so I don’t need room for separate machines.
