I think the newer model is a 2000 or something..Brother also has one that is comparable I think...
I have 2 Vikings, and I love both of them, but surprisingly, the older one is the better machine. It has no computer and uses cams for stitches-( I bought it used and put $220 in it for cleaning, oiling, and repairs) but it stitches anything, any thickness, never misses a beat. But for FMQ, last year I bought a Juki 2010, for $900, and it is one amazing machine. It has a stitch regulator, does 1500 spm, and i never have tension problems, thread breakage, or skipped stitches.
