The newest one I have is the Esante but I use my old machines the most. They seem to sewer straighter without wiggling around, I wouldn't trade my New Home (Janome) Memory Craft for anything. It has the best applique stitch. It all depends on what you are using the machine for. I had to have an embroidery machine, have 3 and they aren't used that much. Shame on me. Featherweight and Singer 301 are favorite straight sewing machines. I have 7 machines including a treadle I'm thinking of selling but it still sits.
