Default I need help choosing a Machine

Hi, I am looking for my ONE machine, I have enjoyed starting my collection of singers, and whites,
but I am looking for my "go to" I am looking for a vintage'ish machine, all metal something I can treadle.
Something I can use for most stuff. I like my singer 27 and 28's ( 128's mostly) but I find myself using the 306w alot because I use the zigzag to overcast raw edges.....I also do a lot of "fake" bar tacks on outdoor gear. the 306's weird needle size and dependance on cams do not excite me a lot and it hates heavy thread. I have recently been looking at the Necchi BU series of machines as a possible candidate but honestly I don't trust Italian stuff ( VW and Porsche over a Ferrari ANY day ) I recently stumbled upon the Pfaff 230 series machines and have been thinking of those. Does anyone have comments suggestions or idea's ?
