Nope, I haven't noticed that at all. Granted, I haven't done a ton of FMQ on my 15-91, BUT the quilting I have done has been a joy! I've set mine up for FMQ and the 201 does the piecing. Anything other than that is done on my other vintage machines or my lone modern one. But really, quilting on my 15-91 is just so much fun!
