I love the extra room on the bed of the machine. I am not interested in getting the 7700 as I think it is to much money for a couple more inches.
WAS SO GLAD TO READ THE LAST SENTENCE ON THIS THREAD ABOUT THE 7700. A FRIEND OF MINE GOT IT AND I THINK SHE WISHES SHE HAD SAVED THE MONEY AND GOTTEN THE 6600 LIKE I HAVE. IT DOES JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING THE 7700 DOES FOR HALF THE; PRICE. NOT TO KNOCK THE 7700 AS IT IS A NICE MACHINE TOO , BUT IF MONEY IS THE OBJECT IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING THE DECISION THERE IS NO QUESTION THE 6500-6600 ARE SUFFICIENT.
