I just got the sit down version. I never really enjoyed the standing much and I hated that it consumed so much floor space lol... so the sit down was the way for me.. I've had it for about a week although my first machine had issues. It went back and was exchanged for a new one... I am so far happy with it although I've got issues with skipped stitches. Other than that, I'm happy as a clam... once I can figure out what's up with the skipped stitches, all will be happy in Lizzieland.
