My used Bernina 1630 is almost twice as old as yours and, interestingly, it has all of the same features as the new, high end machines being sold right now. And it works magnificently.
Some heads up. I have trouble finding Bernina dealers who know a lot about my older machine and quite a number of the nifty info. and classes Bernina has on the net is only for their newer machines. Also, mine very well may be the exception, but to get a really nice straight stitch, the needle plate dedicated for just straight stitching seems to be necessary for the most perfect line of straight stitches. The plate that has the wide hole (the one that is on the machine when it is purchased) gives a less perfect straight stitch. The stitch with the wider opening in the needle plate makes a straight straight stitch but the second part of each stitch just looks a little off to me. Not enough for me to fuss about but if that would be a problem for you, you need to look and see if your machine has this characteristic. If so, do invest in the after market needle plate.
It took a little learning with the manual on my knee but I am very happy with it and use it daily.
You made a very good choice and will enjoy it. Happiness is being pleased with the machine you are using! Congrats!
