I started with a Pfaff 1196 back in the late 70's. I now have a 20 some year old 1473, a QE 4.0, and Smarter 200C and a Passport 2.0. Needless to say, I am a Pfaffie and I love all of them. I wouldn't part with any of them except the 200C and my daughter is getting that one. I bought the Passport 2.0 to take to a 3 day Kay England retreat a week ago and it did exactly what I wanted it to--it's a smaller machine, only weighs about 14 pounds. The IDT is also one of my favorite things about these!
