As someone mentioned, you could take the Bernette to classes as it would be smaller and weigh less. When I picked up my Viking Designer 1 back in 2000, I thought I didn't need 2 machines so sold my Elna Supermatic 62. Realized later, dumb move and tried to buy it back at twice what she paid. No deal, she loved it. Now I have 2 embroidery machines, 2 sergers and 1 regular machine. They are all set up to do one thing so I don't have to keep changing things out. Works for me but I have the space. My Janome I set on the end of the cutting table just for putting on binding as I need the larger table to hold the quilt. Just my take on the subject.
