I have two 201-2 machines, both in beautiful shape and I bought both of them for such low prices. I hate to part with them, so one might be my straight-stitch. Although the Pfaff 30 is a strong contender. (1.4 amps on a domestic straight stitch can kick some serious tail.) I think the 15-90 and 91 I have are too underpowered.
KRA,
If you think the 15-91 is underpowered, you'll experience the same with a 201-2. They have the exact same motor, they're interchangeable. Rated .5 or .6 amp, can't remember which.
Now, I may be writing a check my butt can't cash but I'll put my 1 amp Selectomatic up against your pfaff 30 for power. That machine amazed me. Went through 16 layers of cotton with a size 12 needle just like it was 2 layers. The only reason I didn't try to go thicker was I couldn't fold the fabric any more.
