I have a Husqvarna Viking 875Q and love it. Altho' I was not pleased with the darning (hopping) foot, I love using the floating or R foot for FMQ. This is, of course, just personal choice. I recently bought a Brother CS6000i for taking to regular meetings and workshops as I was concerned whether lugging the HV around might damage it (or at least, that's what I told myself!). Actually, I enjoy having the lighter machine for packing around but will take my HV for any FMQ.
