See that's the problem, I only have experience with my simple Brother machine. I would be even more lost trying to decide on what older make and model to buy since there's even less information available about those older machines. I have no doubt there's some older machines that would blow the newer ones out of the water when it comes to working ability though.
I'm just scared to death I'll end up chosing the wrong machine and regret the purchase. Being indecisive isn't anything new for me though. :-P
