I guess if it were me deciding I would go over in my mind which I would use the most. That would be what I would get. I always feel bad when I hear folks giving Singer a bad time, I know they might not be as good as they were back in the day, but then what is? Its kinda like folks like to bash my Kia, but this is my 2nd one, my first had 150,000 miles on it when I traded it in for a newer model. It never gave me a days worry. In fact it had the same brakes on it, that it did when I bought it. Now to see if my new one is as good : )
