Yes, I love both. I love the deco stitches of computerized machines. But I know that each computerized machine has a much more limited lifespan. If only my mechanicals had needle-down, though. That's the only feature they lack that I really miss. And are there any mechanicals with adjustable pressure foot pressure? I've had that sweet 930 out and purring for a few days now, and I just love her so. I call her WINNIE because she came from Wisconsin and I think on 1/11/11 (all the vertical lines in the date and her name). She doesn't have adjustable foot pressure, but she's perfectly adjusted for piecing. I love solid metal machines.
