I will probably end up getting the 520 though because a guy is selling one with a LOT of accessories for $1000.
We shall see though.
That sounds like it could be a good deal.

Gotta agree though! :)
Ha! Richard Scary! Best kid's book author yet... Read them daily to my kids when they were growing up. Love Lowly Worm!
I'm sorry to hijack the thread. Back to business... I have both a 500 and a powerpro. Both are great, but the powerpro, or the 520 are the way to go if you can afford it. The table size is much more comfortable to use.
