Do you really need the Neo Plus? Unless you plan to do lots of heavy jackets and blankets a Neo 2 will work fine for less cost. I'm not familiar with Neo Plus pricing but does that include the hoop and cap kits? Those are extra for the Neo 2 (along with the stand which is part of the Neo Plus). If you don't need all the hoops and can supply your own stand then a Neo 2 would be considerably cheaper. Either way you should be able to get a show price.
I was just offered a Special from Hirsch a neo one head AND tajima Illustrator extreme for 14,995 i can give you the number to the sales guy that is offering that.
If you can go with a Neo 2 - not the Plus- you can get a much better deal. Everything should be itemized in the deal - machine/ stand, hoop kit, hat kit and software plus freight. If you purchase a Neo 2 you can eliminate the stand. Also, consider not getting the hoop kit (most people don't use some of the hoops) and purchase 2 15 cm and jacket back hoops separately. Software is another area where people save. I don't know what level you want to purchase but consider going with an editing level or a brand other than Pulse.
our hefeng embroidery machine quality can be 95% closed to tajima but with much more cost-effective, If you are interested, pls take free to contact with us, I try to offer you a competitive price for our single head cap/shirt embroidery machine.
All prices on any equipment is negotiable! When I bought my Amaya I kept letting the salesman call me back for over three weeks until I got the price down by over $5,000. It is always a buyer's market if you have the patience.
