You need to test drive each of them, decide what features you want and check your dealers and what education they provide with each machine. Then buy the best you can afford. Personally, I have Berninas and would not sew on anything else. I have the new 830 and a new 350 to take to classes. There will be a huge learning curve with any machine you purchase - that is why the education and support is so important. Have fun making your choice!
