Would take the Brother for ease of use, service in area and the fact that it is a stand alone system. The XT needs to be hooked up to a computer that has the operating software installed to be able to run. I don't like having to run a machine from a separate computer, I like having my files on a storage medium readable by the machine. This way if my computer is down the machine will still produce.
Brother pr600, I will choose, I do my home embroidery business and don't need to make so many colors and I am living in myanmar , we can go to the service center if it has had any pbls
