I bought a real Bernina, a 215, last November for $700 with a coupon for $100. I traded it in a few weeks later for a 350PE. The 215 was NOT a Bernette, but a real Bernina. The company was smart to offer an inexpensive"real" Bernina as an introduction to the brand. Shortly I'm going to trade my 350 for a 530 or 550QE.
