I have the Husqvarna Sapphire 875Q. I love it for many reasons. The large throat space, the pressure foot automatically lowers when you step on the foot control, I use the scissors features often, changing the upper tension is very easy (push a button), the pressure foot can rise to 2 levels, adjusting the speed at which you sew is easy. It just takes some getting used to having no handle to raise and lower the pressure foot, you press a button instead. I like being able to wind a bobbin thru the needle. You just must have a metal foot in place, when you wind a bobbin- no big deal to quickly snap one on. You can have the machine make a knot before it cuts your thread or disable this feature.
