That is why I have so many machines. I have 5 Husqvarna/Vikings. I used to own Singers but not have one again. My cheapest Viking was $800 new, has fancy stitches and push buttons. I got that for my granddaughter to use when she was 5. I have aDesigner I which is about 10 years old; that is my workhorse. Then I have a Designer SE which was $5000 new with lots of accessories, also a good workhorse. Then last year I got a Topaz for the added sewing area and large embroidery units. That was $3000; has USB port. I love it too. But about 2 months ago I got the awesome top of the line Diamond; won't say how much that cost. I did get a floor model with extended warranty, and all the bells & whistles. The Topaz & Diamond I use for embroidery, the others I sew on while I am embroidering. I also have 2 sergers. I sew for people besides my hobbies, so I need reliable equipment. Love the Vikings.
