But now I’m looking at their website and there are only 9 machines ranging from $3,800-$20,000.
The problem is their website - something's broken (or very poorly coded) with their search filters. If you just click "Machines", it just shows you the 9.
Click the dropdown to filter by "Sewing" and you'll get at least 10 pages of machines.
ETA - even that is finicky. If you search, say, for 5mm machines then want to go back and search 7mm ones, you have to undo the 5mm first, then go back to the first page of search results, then click 7mm. And their filter doesn't allow you to see straight stitch-only models unless you view all machines.
It might be easier to use a retailer's site (Ken's, Pocono, etc.) to shop for available models.
