I have the Sapphire 830. Had it for 1-1/2 years and I think I paid $899. Mine was a floor model. I think for brand new out of the box that isn't bad. If you think they would be receptive to the idea, I'd either negotiate down or ask them to throw in the new walking foot w/snap in feet. You might want the snap on stitch in the ditch foot too.
Love my Viking!
