You actually have lots of options in that price range, Viking, which are great. I got the NQ3500D from Brother this year because it had different hoop sizes and did Disney designs. Check out the dealers in your area if possible to test them out. I don't think you can go wrong with either Viking, Brother or Babylock. Just take your time and shop around and see what is out there and what features you would want to have. I have to have the different hoop sizes, needle up/down, auto threader, thread cutter, and the other thing these machines have in common is they play well with most threads. I use what ever I want.

I have a brother 2800D & brother dream creator. Both are sewing/embroidery combos. Watch for sales or check ebay. I've bought a few from eBay in the past with no problems at all. I would also buy new. Do look for one with a larger screen tho, or you will be unhappy. Good luck.

I had the 2170 and loved it. Traded it in for the Creative Vision and loved it. Traded it in for the Creative Sensation and absolutely love it. I would stick with a Pfaff if I were you. I have talked to a lot of people who have bought a different machine and were very unhappy about not getting IDT. My daughter was looking for her first embroidery machine a couple of years ago. She couldn't afford the TOL or Creative Sensation at the time but bought one of the cheaper Pfaff embroidery machines. I think it was called the Creative 4.0 or something like that. It was a whole lot cheaper than the TOL and it is still a great machine. She loves it, and I have used it many times when I was visiting, and it is a great machine.
