Default Singer 301A and Kenmore 1802

I have both of these machines and wondering which one would be the best to quilt on. The 301A is in a cabinet and not portable (she is my avatar). The Kenmore 1802 is heavy as lead but is portable if I put it in a case and cart around. I've had the Kenmore since 1971.

I'm new to the quilting world so I don't need a lot of fancy stuff and don't have the money for a new fancy dancy machine! I love my old machines....just not sure which one is 'better' as far as quiliting is concerned.

I also have my 1964 white Singer 221 FW that my Mom bought for me to learn to sew on when I was 15...just worried about quilting anything larger than a baby quilt or the motor might just burn up. Yikes...don't want that. Just finished my first quilt using this little girl and she pieced and quilted my wall hanging almost all by herself. It's like she knew what to do without me! See my other post to see a pic of the quilt.

Appreciate your advice!
