To Purchase a New Embroidery Machine or Not

[stitchntheattic]

I have been using my daughter-in-laws embroidery machine for a couple of years now.  My business has picked up tremendousley during the spring of last year and the present. The machine is almost 12 years old and is a Brother 700 which they do not make any more. I'm using mostley fonts for my products.  My dilema is whould  a newer machine work better to improve the finished product.  I've seen a Brother Innov NS 1150E which I have not found out to much about it on the internet.  The other machine which is less expensive is the 770.  Can anyone give me some input to this decision?  I appreciate any information.

I have a Brother PE770 and have been using it now for about 4 years.  I use it to add personaliation to items I sell so I'm not doing very intricate and multi-color designs, nor is embroidery my main business.  I occasionally may do a design with some art but mostly do personalization/monogramming and for that, the PE770 works just fine for me.  If my main business was embroidery, then I'd definitely consider a higher end machine.
