I have a Babylock Evolution, fantastic machine, so easy to thread. 8-threads, functions that I will probably never use. I bought it ONLY because it came up second hand, and it was at a very affordable price. I had a Babylock Eclipse, but wanted to get a 5-thread Babylock but this came up first. The new price was around £1999 when I bought it, and I would never have paid that, but I do love it. The price of these latest ones is absolutely ridiculous, for home sewing machines, even though I could afford it I would never dream of spending that much on one.
