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?
