Wow!! That's a bunch-o'-bucks!
I did a netsearch for the Wilcom software after the last response and the highest price I found was about $9k, I think.
Of course, there's all the "machine specific" digitizing software that runs the gamut from $2k to $6k (that I've seen so far)
What features does Wilcom have that make it worth so much more than its competitors such as Tajima's DG/ML or Happy's iPUnch, or Prodigy's IDS (and others)? Some of these are pretty pricey but all seem to have pretty much the same features which are presented differently on screen.
To date I've looked at 2 machines and have two more to see next week. Looks like one isn't interested because they never followed through with a quote as they said they would. Number two took great pains to show the machine and the software. Numbers 3 and four will be asked to digitize and stitch out an image I'll be taking with me (and taking back to number 2, as well).
Anyway, I'm about to the end of my research but would really like to see some straight-forward comparisons.
