Latter in the day I was at a LQS for some parts and he said the same thing about the 201-2. I might let the 15-91 get adopted out when I get it cleaned up. He also said on the newer singers up thru the model 620 was good machine or at least some of the early 600's. Just opion don't kill the messager.
Keep your 15-91 too; it is better to use than the 201 for free motion quilting. The man is correct in that the 201 is a beautiful machine to sew with- smooth and quiet with beautiful stitches. And easy to repair! Congrats on your excellent finds and enjoy quilting with them.
