I have read lots of good feedback for both of those machines on this Board. Although I do not own either of those particular machines, I do have two Brothers and they are both great; never had a bit of trouble with them.
By the way, do you know you can search the Board for posts on these machines? Just put the name of the machine in the search box on the front page and you will be shown all the threads that mention the machine. That way you can see lots of opinions!
