I would buy a Bernina at any price, they do cost a lot to repair, mine is at present for a service which will cost £200 but it is a 740 model and hasn't been serviced etc. in all of it's 40+ to my knowledge and IMO is well worth while as I know it will keep going for at least another 40+, not that I will be around long enough to find out
