Same here. I have my Singer Golden Touch and Sew that I purchased in 1968. My Bernina 930. My mother's old Singer, that is a converted tredle, no idea what model it is for sure, but she bought it used in 1941, just know it uses the bullet type bobbin and I learned to sew on it in the 50's. Does that tell my age or what lol. I also have 2 FW's needed yes why, because I wanted both of them. Love my FW's and usually take them to quilting group once a month. Take my Bernina when I need to work on something very large. Haven't used my Golden Touch in years, guess I should sell it. I have made three fairly large quilts on it and do the largest part of piecing my tops on my FW.
The decision has to be yours, whatever you think is best for you. I love mine and they sew beautifully.
