MSRP at one of my semi-close by quilt shops is $12,999.00. YIKES!!! I bought my Janome 11000se AND a Baby Lock Evolutions serger, both brand new in the boxes, for just over $7,000 two years ago. As much as I'd like to, I seriously doubt that I could ever affort to trade up. Good for you guys though - I'm a bit envious.
