Three years ago I got my Sapphire 830 for $899 (also a floor model). I don't think that price is too bad. I think they go around $1200 new. I'd ask them to throw in the walking foot with the snap on feet. It's expensive to buy separately. Do you get classes with that? I bought mine at a LQS that offers unlimited free classes with purchase. I've brought it in a few times when I first got it and she taught me whatever I wanted to know. It is a little different getting used to because everything is automatic.
