Whatever you decide to do make sure you negotiate for the extras you want/need. Most dealers want to sell their machines so don't be afraid to ask for the walking foot and if the salesperson can't make that decision,, remember go up a level until you get a final no! I used to sell Vikings so I know you get what you ask for within reason. Don't be afraid to go in with other machines you've tested out and what their value is compared to what you're looking at. You can't get it if you don't ask!
