Two-line verdict
The SE700 is the SE600 with the two upgrades owners actually notice: a larger 3.7" touchscreen and wireless LAN with Artspira app support. Reviewers consistently call it the better buy over the SE600 — unless you know you'll outgrow the 4×4 hoop, in which case the PE900 is the wiser spend.

Community / social evidence (all aggregator-derived; crawl dates noted)
- practicaltextile.com (updated ~49 days before 2026-09-23): "The Brother SE700 base model is the best choice for most people. You get the larger 3.7-inch screen and wireless LAN, which are the two upgrades that actually change how you use the machine." Recommends pairing with a small thread starter set and one extra hoop rather than bundles. Review-guide surface.
- kitchenwaresets.com (updated ~203 days before 2026-09-23): "for most new users in 2026, this [Wi-Fi] feature is worth the investment as it removes a significant point of friction (USB transfers) from the creative process" — but warns the SE700 "becomes a 'gateway' machine that you may outgrow" if you want designs larger than 4×4, recommending skipping to the PE900. Review-guide surface.
- owncrafting.com (updated 3 days before 2026-09-23; crawl 2026-09-23): "An excellent choice for beginners eager to incorporate embroidery into their sewing projects, despite some setup requirements." Notes wireless depends on device compatibility/network stability. Affiliate surface.
- craftyhangouts.com (updated 6 days before 2026-09-23): "The SE700 is a strong gateway because it lets a beginner learn both normal sewing and embroidery without buying two machines." Review-guide surface.
