The Bernettes are something different the 1008 or the computerized models. I have nothing against them, but some of them are on the plastic side. It suppose they have to be produced in Asia to compete in the lower priced ranges. I think the quality control and stable network of employees and developers of Bernina definitly have it's advatages.
