I have an older Pfaff that was handed down to me (I'm guessing 15 yrs+) and just bought a Janome 6600 ... only because the Janome dealer is within 15 minutes and the Pfaff dealer about an hour and a half away... I will never let loose of my favorite Pfaff! I'm sure you will love your new machine and that she will be reliable.
Happy quilting!
