I recently upgraded to the Pfaff Creative Vision because I wanted to really get into embroidery.
However, I have an old (Husqvarna) Viking 500 that I have had for at least 25 years. I love it and used it to make clothes for my children, nieces, nephews and grandchildren as well as for quilting. I still use it often. It is a work horse that barely needs any upkeep. I think you will be satisfied with your Viking.
