Congratulations...I have a Baby Lock Ellegant 2 and I love it. The thing I love about the BLs is you can trade UP and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg all at once - just an arm lol Wendy

One would expect to pay a lot. 
LOL! I have no idea if the show deal is a better deal or not.
I paid $1800. The machine is gently used, as it was a show machine. So, used in classes during the quilt show. Comes with the 3 year full coverage warranty, extension table and more feet than I know what to do with.
The price for a new, unused machine was about $300 or $400 higher. I can't remember now.

'Sew' happy for you! Nothing puts a smile on a quilters face better than getting a new sewing machine! I have had several over the years, and I have loved every one of them. Years ago there was a fire in the woods behind our house, and it took days to put it out. We were told to be ready to evacuate. I promptly gathered our family pictures and my sewing machine and had them ready to go. The rest I decided could burn; I just couldn't do without those two things! Thankfully, the firemen were successful in getting it extinguished, but my family still teases me about 'have sewing machine, will travel:-)"
