Hi Kathy, If you trade in one of your older machines, you might be able to get a package deal and get both. Without knowing what you have to spend and what your specific needs are that is a tough question for someone else to answer. If you do all of you own digitizing and need more features, then maybe you would be better off with the software, if you need more production because you can't keep up with your orders then maybe you should get the machine. For myself, I send out my digitizing so I would get the machine. Did you go to the ISS show in Providence? I will be at the Melco booth today and tomorrow. Russell Silva R.S.
