Doesn't compare how?
All plastic parts. No plastic parts in the original Featherweight!!!
Virtually NO throat space, either. That would be too confining for me.

I wish they wouldn't use the classic names on new machines-- just creates a lot of confusion. I'm sure it's meant to use the popularity of the old ones to sell the new.
I have the old Bernina 830 and still can't stand that they named a new machine "830" too. Crazy. Now I have to call my 830 by it's FULL name, which I have never done before: Bernina Record 830, just to differentiate it from the new one.
