Kathy,
Please forgive me but I'm loading my car for a week on the road.  If you call Melco, your local sales rep can answer all your questions pertaining to the machine's features.  I don't mind helping you out if you have Verizon Wireless as the phone call would be airtime free.  And I have four hours to drive this morning.  But that's what the sales staff is paid for. 
 
Personally, if money is an issue, I would consider the Bravo and worry about upgrading shortly thereafter.
I was scared when we bought our first machine as I was putting the cost of a car on my credit card.  However, if you are working out of your house and have steady business, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to afford a commercial machine and pay for it in only one year.  I have heard many people have been able to accomplish this under the right conditions.

Thanks for the reply Ed.  It is my understand that the six needle machines are considered "semi-commercial."  But nonetheless, they don't do everything I want.  I have looked at the Bravo machine but I think it starts to approach the Amaya XT--can you tell me what features are missing on the Bravo that the Amaya has?

Kathy,
I believe the EP-4 does NOT have a cap driver available for it.  So most caps will be out of the picture.
 
I'm also certified to service Brother machines including the PR 600/620 and I can tell you that this particular machine was designed for the home sewer and not necessarily the commercial sewer.  That's not to say folks aren't using them in a commercial enviornment but the machines may not fare as well over the long haul.
 
If you're looking to have better features but don't want to spend bigger bucks, consider the Amaya BRAVO machine.  It costs about what you paid for your Brother machine(s) but is very much a commercial machine.  I'm afraid you might find the EP-4 a step back from your Brother machines as it is smaller and limited in it's features.
 
Wishing you luck,
Ed

Does anyone on this list have this machine?  If so, what do you think about it.  I currently have two Brother/Babylock six needle machines and along with everything else I do they are working out great for me.  But, on occasion, I would like to do a bigger jacketback design than my machine allows.  It seems that the EP4 will do that.  Also, I'd like a little bit bigger hat area as well.  So, I don't want to spend too much as these are just "desired" add-ons.  If you have this machine what problems have you had and do you think it would be worth adding to my shop?
