Anyone have both the Rose and Platinum 770? by Eric Sanders
I just ended up buying a Rose as well as the Platinum 770 on ebay. Sheesh, I'm too impulsive. Anyway, I will be reselling one of them. I know that the 770 doesn't have embroidery capability, but how useful is the Rose without the reader? It came with the extra card#30. I checked out the 770 at...
