This post made me chuckle. When I bought my Pfaff 2058 and realized that we were not meant to be a happy quilting couple, I started to shop around for another model. My two FIRM expectations were: Must have built-in walking foot and must have front-load bobbin. Guess what: I chose the Babylock Espire which has no walking foot and has a drop-in bobbin. I lovelovelove my machine. Quilla and I are made for each other. So I totally agree with you. Pick the one that speaks to you. Life is too short to get frustrated with our hobby.
