what is the general consensus on which is better?
cost seems roughly the same.

ease of use would be important to me since I have no store support or anything.

right now I'm mostly interested in manipulating fonts & adding patterns together, but might eventually like to learn about digitizing - in the future.

If you want to digitize, then Embird as Embrilliance does not have a program for this.

If there were a store for every brand of embroidery machine right down the street, you would still be hard pressed to find anyone with enough knowledge about software to be of any measurable support.

Embrilliance is limited. They are projecting digitizing add-on modules but it's been 2+ years now and nothing yet. Also finding/viewing files in the Embrilliance library is cumbersome. Embrid gets my vote.
