I have the Babylock Elegante II and I love it. If the Destiny is $1500.00 it is to pricey for me. I started with a Elimiso that had the embroidery feature for $800.00 on sale and moved up to the Elegante II for $3600.00 on sale and was only given $500.00 for the Elimiso on trade in. All sewing machines are too expensive. When I saw the price on a Bernina I went to Babylock because it was cheaper but I love it. Never had any problems. Would like the larger throat for quilting but not to spend so much $$ for it.
