New Machine (and advice)

I broke down.  I thought I would/could manage with my 4x4 hoop and my brother SE400.  I love it.  I really do.  I'll keep it forever, I know I will.  I just felt like something was missing...  Well, that something is larger hoop space.  I know I started out saying to not jump into a super fancy, super expensive machine until you know what you want to do with it... I'd like to make an addendum to that statement: find a machine that will offer a larger hoop size than 4x4.  You will QUICKLY find yourself yearning for a larger area to work with.  So here she is:

The Brother PE770.

It doesn't offer the dual embroidery/sewing option, but since I already have my Brother SE400 I figured it can serve as my "sewing" machine, while this can be my Embroidery machine.  The difference the larger hoop space makes is indescribable.  It even offers other size options re: hoops,  but I'm mastering the art of not even hooping things!!  Here's the review of my new machine: http://www.pe770embroiderymachine.com/brother-pe770-reviews/

I also decided to stick with Brother because I've found them to be so user friendly and I'm comfortable with them.  I'm also not ready (or able) to make the plunge into a industrial machine yet.  I think I'll be set now for what I'm wanting to do!

My favorite things so far:

650 stitches per minute (HUGE difference)

larger hoop space

optional accessories of 4x4 and 5x12 hoops.

without feed dogs, smaller opening and less chance of underside of fabric bunching/knotting up
