I have a Pfaff. I have had Pfaffs for over 30 years. I just recently burnt out the motor on the Pfaff I used the most. It served me faithfully for 20 years. The thing I like about the Pfaff is the IDT, Integrated Dual Feed. It is a built in walking foot. I bought a Pfaff Creative 4.0 to replace my old Pfaff. So far I just love it. I looked at all sorts of different brands when I went to replace the machine I burnt up. I always came back to the Pfaff. Buying a new machine is definitely a personal thing. You must go out and try as many as you can. Don't be in a hurry to buy a machine. Look at them all.
Good Luck.
