I'd purchase the Brother Dreamweaver if I was in the market. It's a beautiful machine. Imo, I'd stay away from computerized Janome (personal experience) and Babylock (friends' experiences) machines. That said, computerized machines have a built-in obsolescence (usually around 5-7 years) which vintage metal mechanical machines don't have. Their repair bills are higher due to their electronic parts which will possibly fail at some point.
