Thanks for your insights SoloMae ... I had been starting to wonder if I should trade up now, while I wouldn't lose any money on my 6600 (first year, we can trade in for full value), but I think you've convinced me that I have no interest!! Th positive of the larger throat space yes, but the 7700 negatives you pointed out, are all reasons why I have fallen in love with the 6600, so I know I am good to go!

For your 1/4" dilemma ... try the special accufeed 1/4" foot ... a friend who bought her 7700 the same week as I bought my 6600 sews with the accufeed almost all the time!
