I have 2 combination machines. One I use 99.9% for sewing the other 100% for embroidery. I like the embroidery on the 'sewing' machine better, but I hate the software and the size is limited, but it sews beautifully! My 'embroidery' machine was lots cheaper through a friend and that is why I picked it up and so glad I did.
Go for the combo you probably won't be disappointed.
