Boy am I with you! The whole point in using a vintage machine is its' ability to sew beautiful straight stitches which the present day models cannot do because they are made to be able to sew zig zag stitches and other fancy stitches. Now they make a 'reproduction' with all these abilities? The reproduction will not be able to produce the beautifiul stitches any more that the present models can, and it doesn't even look like a vintage. You're right, it's ugly and underwhelming. I think it will be the 'Edsel' of the sewing machine world! You remember the 'Edsel' don't you? The ugliest most inefficient car Ford ever built!
