Hey, thanks for stopping by! I'm really enjoying the Baby Lock so far. Especially now that I took a class on how to use it (got a free one with the purchase of my machine, but they didn't actually have the class until this past weekend) and know how to fix the things I was having trouble with! I'm actually surprised at how easy it is to use, once you get past the threading, and how many different things can be done with it. And mine was about $320 (in US dollars). Good luck with your serger shopping!
