I have the Pfaff 2134 and I really like it for piecing, quilting and general sewing which is mainly all I do. I like the auto threading feature. It took a little getting used, but now it is slick for me. It works so well for FMQ, not fussy at all. I haven't had to adjust tension or anything. Mine was a shop model and was being discontinued when I bought it so got a decent price. It includes the embroidery feature but that is not a big interest of mine, have experimented a little and it worked fine. The next model has the screen set-up and would be much easier to use but don't think I would use it much. I would not hesitate to by another Pfaff, would love the big quilter, but out of my price range. I doubt I will wear this one out
