I suppose I have two bernina's because I got a great deal on the second one. It has worked out great by the way. No down time while one is at the shop for servicing and cleaning. Also I can put one onto the quilting table and take a break to sew something else at the same time. They are different in the way they work. One is a touchscreen (190 with upgrade and embroidery module) and the other is operated with the buttons on the machine and when it's hooked to the computer, operated by the computer. (440QE with the embroidery module and the stitch regulator). I would have my old original bernina 830 too, but hubby wanted me to gift it to my sis.
Oh and I bought a machine to teach my 8 year old neice how to sew this last christmas. A janome mini. And I inherited my mother's singer with a roll top case in the garage. See? It just happens. That also doesn't mention the janome serger which you can sew knits with and finish edges. Amoung other things.
