I have an old Pfaff 7550 (made in Germany) and got a newer one (made in who-knows where) and boy, could I tell the difference in quality. Ended up giving it away to someone who had no preconceived notions about what a Pfaff should do. She wasn't a "bad" machine, she just wasn't up to par.
That said, I switched to a Baby Lock and LOVE my machine.
I'd suggest to test drive the heck out of both and see how they feel.
