    The Horizon can go from $2500-300 depending on your dealer and promos etc. I got mine in July, and despite one problem that was quickly fixed, absolutely love it. I don't think you are going to find another machine with all these features for less. My hubby was surprised (not upset, just a little sticker shock) until I told him how much the equivalent Bernina was!

    I have a Pfaff Expressions 2.0 and it has a10 inch throat and I can easily quilt a king size.

    Just priced the Elna 740 eXellence, the Elna version of the Horizon. $2999, no promo or discount since it's new. Only one foot that fits the Accufeed comes standard. On board foot storage is cool, but if I were buying now, I'd go with the Janome Horizon with more Accufeed feet, and a promo of roller bag and thread and what not, supposedly $250 value. And Janome avail for $2500. Pfaffs with 10" throat also all more than $1500 around here. For $1000, either a Juki with fewer stitches or the Janome 6600 with autocut but no freearm or the Babylock Quest Plus with free arm, no auto cut, but a dual feed which is closer to the Pfaff IDT, if not identical. You'd have to bargain for the BLQP for $1000, but I think you could get there. I have one ($1300+extras) and it's FABULOUS!

    Thank you every one for your help. All of your suggestions are great. Gives me a push in the right direction. Might take a little while to get there but I believe I'll get that perfect machine. Thank you again all.

    I've been quoted around 2500.00. But still looking at other dealers for the best quote.
