I, too, would keep it for a back up machine. You just never know. That's what I did with my old White after purchasing my Viking Platinum. Then I managed to snag a FW. The White sewed fine, just was a little finicky with some fabrics. Neighbor of a friend was looking for a machine for some home dec projects. Since I now had another backup, the White went to her for a small fee. She was happy enough with it's abilities/limitations. Not sure that she's really ever used it though. She's kind of an impulse person.
