I have a Bernina 830. I traded up from a Pfaff 7570 after using it for over 13 years. It still works beautifully...its just limited to a 4x4" sewing field. Love the Bernina. Since I've had 2 different machines..I will say that the real "trick" with machine embroidery is learning how to hoop & stabilize correctly. They are all work horses and will only deliver results as good as the person running them. =)
