I have 2 Vikings - one much older than the other. When sewing a 1/4" seam the newer definitely sews more straightly. It has to do with that right feed dog not catching enough fabric to keep sewing in a straight line. Do not have any problems keeping straight seams with the FW or a 301, which has a 1/4" mark on the plate.
