Your dealer has done you a "dis"service by telling you that you can use Digitizer Pro 2.0. Yes, it makes JEF designs, but you are limited to smaller hoops than you have available on the 12000 AND you will be unable to connect it to your machine. I think he/she was telling you to save in DST format, which has no hoop limits (or color information), but the 12000 will have none of that. It's JEF, JEF+, or JPX, period. Pack up your 2.0, take it into the store and tell the dealer that you are either trading in your Digitizer 2.0 (If it's all that powerful, the dealer should jump at the chance, right?) for $500 difference OR they can order you the Digitizer MBX upgrade for a price well below the $500 MSRP. You really want MBX - it will make everything easier and you'll have more tools to work with as well.
