I just bought a used Bernina with the BSR for $2000. I also own two Pfaffs, one of them an older model that I would never part with, and a newer one that's the same age as the Bernina I just bought. There's something to be said for both machines, each having options that the other doesn't, but the quality of the Bernina just stands out. I am so excited to finally be able to own one. Bernina dealers offer specials on trade ins throughout the year, and sometimes you can find them at the local high school when they get rid of their teaching machines and get new ones, if you know who to talk to.
