LOVE my Bernina 440, does everything I want and always perfect tension. I have a vintage Viking in my collection (designated for my husband's use on heavy camping stuff) and it is a workhorse but I haven't tried a current model.
A good dealer makes a lot of difference, go sit down and sew on them both. Yes, Singer, Viking and Pfaff are now owned by SVP Worldwide, who manufactures them in Shanghai, China. Bernina is still family owned and manufactures the higher-end machines in Switzerland but also has a plant in Thailand.

Bernina old style feet fit 1630 (made in the 90s) and earlier. The OP currently has a 130, which is new style.
