I am a Pfaffie also but I do suggest you go to various QS's and try out their machines. We all have our particular loves here and it will be you doing the sewing/quilting and need to find the one that you fall in love with! Take your time, take practice sandwiches, and fabrics with you and test them all. Look for customer service, before, during and after you purchase your machine. There are sewing/embroidery machines that are fabulous and then you can have two separate machines also. It just really depends on what you usage and wants are. You can go to the Pfaff, Bernina, Viking, etc., websites to see what they are offering and then you can get out and test drive what peaks your interest.
