IMHO, find a vintage machine. They don't have all the bells and whistles, but do a wonderful straight stitch and are easy to service if something happens. You can find these at second hand stores, garage sales and auctions. (Avoid the antique stores! the machines get way over-priced.) You might ask a local sewing machine repair person about machines that are rarely in for repairs.
Hope you find one you like!
