Keep your work horse mechanical and get a basic computer machine for decorative stitching, if that's the draw. The needle up/down and thread cutter doesn't warrant the $ for me. PS. I have 20 machines Love the domestic japan and earlier singers. I also have Bernina mechanical 830, 801sport, 802 sport plus a newer computer along with a pfaff 1221e , viking and janome. I repair and sell machines.
