Forgot to say, yes Espire is a great machine and great investment. If your dealer is offering "20" free classes, yes yes and yes, take advantage of every class. Most dealers only offer 2 or 3, you must have a very customer oriented dealer. Don't let such a great dealer go unrewarded, tell all of your sewing buddy's about them. If you would be kind enough to pm the name and location of your dealer, I would love to recommend them also.
