After talking with Eleanor Burns at the "Road to California" quilt show 16 months ago, I purchased the Symphony Baby Lock, which has all the bells and whistles. They sell for around $3,500, but since it was used in the classroom at the show, I got it for $2,000, and after they checked it out, they shipped it free. I know this is more than you want to pay, but keep in mind the deals you can find at quilt shows. Happy shopping!
