Asking for opinions please

I'm new here been lurking a while. My question is I have a baby lock grace which I love. My local fabric store has a new Baby lock esante for $2900. I'm wondering if I'll be happy or regret it any opinions?

I don't own a babylock, but I know many forum members do - I'm sure someone will chime in, but weekends tend to be a tad less busy forum-wise

I have the Esante BLN and absolutely LOVE IT.
Good price at $2900. Ours up here start at over $4000.00

I find it is quite a powerful machine in terms of the things it can do. It sews great, FMQ is very smooth and the embroidery is super.
I opted to purchase a couple more hoops. Mine only came with the 5x7 and the 6x10, so I bought the 4x4 and the tiny tiny 1x2.

I wish my model had the thumbdrive for loading my designs, but having the laptop right next to machine and using the USB cable isn't all that bad.

I am a fan of Babylock and personally I don't think you will go wrong with that machine.

That is a fantastic price and you will love the machine. I have one and it is a dream to sew on. Quiet, smooth and the embroiderys is fantastic. As mentioned a thumbvdrive would be nice, but I commandeered an old laptop from one of my kids and use it just for the embroidery. I love Babylock and would definitely say go for it!

I will be happy to add to the the "Happy with Babylock" club. A year ago I bought my adult daughter a Melody, which I made a quilt on and loved the machine. Two weeks ago my husband and same daughter bought me a Symphony for Christmas. We all live together and are very happy with our Babylock family.
