Advice for buying a machine

I have been sewing for years on an old and tired machine with few features
and am now in the market for a new one with some handy features.  I love the
idea of an embroidery machine but also want to do conventional sewing. I
have been shopping around and am leaning towards the Husqvarna Platinum
Plus.  The one here is priced at 3500.00 Can. an includes the embroidery
package and d-card with reader/writer.

Any advice would be appreciated,

DJ
