Personally, I like that it has more power and sews faster than the FW. Also, there's something about the slant foot that makes it easier to see the needle and the light is brighter and in a better place...this one is front, the FW's light is in back and is not as bright.
But mostly I think that it is because of the more power. You can put the pedal to the metal and sew fast with this one! :)
