I've sewn with the older 830 for years, have found and sold several to friends, and prefer it to almost any other machine ever.

Good question. I have the old one and love it! My aunt has the new one and though the cool little things you can do with it are neat, I still prefer the old less computerized one. They're cheaper to fix I'm told since there isn't as much computer in it
