Having had the machine a few weeks and taken time to get used to its various functions (but not all of them yet!) I have to say I am extremely happy with it. Apart from it looking sleek and ergonomic I love the full colour screen, and video tutorials, the simple, clear way each stitch is described and the modifications you apply (length, width) are displayed on screen as you alter them so no guessing! Using it for quilting a lot of the time the long throat length is perfect, and it has an impressive array of feet and attachments. A nice touch is being able to drop the feed dogs for FMQ from a button on the LCD display screen - no removing the extension table and reaching round to the back of the machine for an up/down lever. The amount and variety of decorative stitches are amazing, and the monogramming function is great. I've had auto-needle threading before but never as infallible as this, works every time. Threading top thread is super easy, the machine even tells you if you've done it wrong, and the bobbin threading is a doddle. The manual is very comprehensive and a brilliant resource. Stitches are even and the machine runs smoothly and quietly. I have had no trouble with nesting. I could go on, singing it's praises but best of all was the customer service from GUR, and Palma in particular who took so much trouble to make sure I had the right machine for me. Highly recommend GUR.
