Get the Jane. I've had 2 (because I work at a quilt store & they needed a "used" model to sell LOL). It's superfast, beautiful tension, not picky about thread, comes with great attachments & are only sold by dealers who can support your purchase later on. The brother is pretty much the same except you don't always get dealer support, especially if you buy on-line. The pfaff is just annoying. the feed dogs don't drop (you cover them) and I have personally broken a tension spring & seen other do it, too. plus, it's way more sensitive to timing issues & doesn't come with the same variety of attachments as the Jane. Also, FYI, I also own a couple "fancy" machines, but for pure piecing & free-motion power sewing, Jane is my girl. Happy quilting.
