I have a Brother SE270D And a Brother 6000 for sewing. I wish I had a larger embroidery area, but then I really don't use mine much . I used it a lot to begin with and bought the PED basic to add more designs, but I am so wrapped up in quilting I don't use as much as I could or should. I do love my "Brothers".
It all depends on what you want from the machine and hwo much you think you will use it and for what type of things you will embroider ? Does that make sense ? Do you want a machine for just embroidery or one that sews and embroiders ? Budget of course will dictate a lot.
Good Luck with the search :lol:
