Well, I have both and I really prefer the vertical load bobbin...my old Viking plus has that and if I run out of bobbin thread while in the middle of a project, I simply either replace that bobbin by reaching under or if I have to rewind, take it out, put on bobbin winder- on side of machine, either thread with another spool by feeding thru wheel in back or if I need to use thread I am sewing with, then I have to cut the thread, lead it over to the bobbin, a few quick,wraps and step on the gas. Now with this top loader....project out from under, cut thread, redirect thru another path to bobbin winder on top of machine, wrap..........sidewinder type of bobbin filler is faster. But, in the meantime I have purchased on of those silly little bobbin winder gizmos......comes in handy, if I forget top rewind bobbins, which I guess is the best thing to do.
Maybe the top line new machines have what my old lady has, but not the one I have
