The other has a short arm bed so that I can sew small diameter sleeves or other type things and I couldn't use that feature if it were level with the desk top.
If I have to use my "free arm" feature I just lift my machine up & out of the desk & do the stitching.... it's a little precarious balancing it up there... but to be honest... I only use that feature for mending...so it's not right up at the top of my list of concerns......
