Brother SE600 vs Brother SE725

Both stitch the same 4 × 4 in field. Only the SE725 has Wi-Fi.

Which should you buy?

Choose the SE725 if you want to send designs over Wi-Fi instead of a USB stick; or if you want more built-in designs (135 vs 80); or if you do a lot of lettering (10 built-in fonts vs 9); or if you want a model that is still sold new, with current support.

There is little reason to pick the SE600 unless you find it clearly cheaper, for example used or refurbished.
