I love my Pfaff ambition 1.5 the more I use it, but I also love the Brother machines I have .. the Pfaff is high end, and the Brother is my low end machine. Its all in what you enjoy in your machine and need for features... take a test drive for sure of any machine that you have an "eye" on. I would never turn down an Ellismo from Babylock if I was offered it for sure !LOL
