I only have personal experience with the 1222E and 2040;
both have IDT. As far as I know the IDT started with the 1200 series. You need to join the Yahoo group, "old Pfaff Pforum" The people there know lots more than I do.
#1 is all mechanical, weighs a ton and is a great machine,
has 8" of throat space. I love quilting with it and piecing too. Made in 1976-85.
It takes a bit of figuring out how to make it do the decorative stitches. I've owned this machine for about 3 years and only been using it for 2.
#2(2040) is computerized and has IDT, made in Germany.
I just bought this one on Friday, 1/8/11. So I've not even begun to figure it out yet. So far I like it. Made in 2002.
