Hello, Rod or Sharon has just posted in the Machines & Hardware forum of AmayaUsers Discussion Boards under the title of Melco EMT-16. This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?5901-Melco-EMT-16 Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** In a nut shell.....Bernina will have the E-16 which they will sell through their regular dealers. Melco will still have the Bravo which is sold through private dealers and the Melco EMT-16 wil be sold exclusively by and thru Melco. Other than the cosmetic change in looks, it appears that the change in the rotary hook to include the trimmer function may be the one most prominent change in the machine. The software has also changed. I am sure Melco will be releasing more information sometime soon. Guess you could put it this way in terms of evolution... If the Amaya is the Daddy(Big Reds) and the XT is the Mamma, the XTS would become their first and only child, which now makes them Grand parents with the EMT-16. ;-}) Rod Springer Amaya Tech & Trainer *************** =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
