I am not familar with this machine but go down your list of things you would like your machine to do. I really like my needle down lock for applique, my start/stop button for when I don't want to use the foot pedal (sore knee) the needle threader (my eyes aren't what they used to be)my programable buttonhole size, my buttonhole applique stitch etc. Just think of what you want, write it down and see which machine will meet your needs.
