I'll put in my two cents for the Pfaff 2.0 which i currently use as my main sewing machine. I work on a number of things with it - personal clothing, alterations, canvas covers for deck furniture, craft items for shows we do all summer long, quilts, etc. I went with the Pfaff because of the large throating opening, dual lights, IDT, self threading, needle down and the 9mm versus 6mm stitch width.
I also own a Janome, Singer, Bernedette and BelAir but when I needed to replace my "main" sewing machine I did alot of test driving and comparison shopping and found Pfaff was the one for me.
Hope you found one that suits you.
