The 201-2 is a great machine for quilting and other large projects. The potted motor doesn't lack anything for power. We're making a list of machines that are "keepers" and our 201-2 is at the top of the list. It's a very good machine.
Make sure how the one you're looking at is wired. They both use the same 3 prong cord connector block, but the portables are wired differently than the cabinet machines. Look at the rear of the cord block and make sure there isn't two wires cut off. If there is it was a cabinet model and will need to be rewired to prevent electrical problems.
It's fairly easy to fix, you just need to make sure.
The only source for decent cases I know of is this: {

I haven't yet, but I'm going to buy one of the universal cases: Carrying Case, Flat Bed #P60218. It has an adapter in it so it will work with full and 3/4 size cases. It's kind of expensive to my way of thinking, but I can't buy new wooden cases so I don't have a lot of choices.
