I like the lines, that's for sure. I think if it was vintage most of us here would want one just for that reason. It's encouraging that someone is at least trying to make a simple mechanical machine that is more than a toy. If the price is somewhat reasonable it may encourage more people to sew, not a bad thing IMO.
I would have to try the pressure sensitive control before I came to any conclusions about whether it's easier or not but it does seem that the control is the weakest link on that machine. I wonder how it will still work when it is no longer new. It would be nice if it had the option for a traditional foot pedal.
