Although I'm not familiar with that particular model, I love the two that I have. I bought my first one when I got an inheritance almost 20 years ago; it's still going strong and is the one I use most. In between there I also had two Janomes, but was never happy with their stitch. A friend who is a Pfaff fan uses mine when she has heavy sewing to do as Berninas will go over/through anything!
