I bought a Pfaff Performance 2058 last year and love it! This is my second Pfaff machine and I would not go for any other Brands. Service annually and you will have no problems with it! Easy to learn, work horse, IDT such a gem to have for piecing and accurately. I have quilted on it too.
FYI, I was told by my dealer that they aren't making the Pfaff machines anymore in Germany. Pfaff sold to a company VSM Group. They own Singer, Viking, Husqvarna and Pfaff. So Pfaff machines are now being made in Sweden. Tho they say German Engineered but that doesn't mean it is made in Germany. Products out of Germany are very well made. I don't know much about Sweden products and how good of a quality they make their products. I would go for the older Pfaff machines made in Germany. Older machines are just a good if not better than the newer ones that are being designed today.
Sorry for being such a long email but I thought you would like to know. :)
