Default Which Bernina?

People whose judgment I respect have raved about the Berninas, specifically the 730, 830 and 930 (The 930 qualifies as vintage, right?). I've never used one (aside from my 117, pictured below) but would like to have the experience. Which, in your opinion, is the best of the three? I've heard there were issues with the foot controller on the 830; are there any other weaknesses that have revealed themselves - and any workarounds? They must be good - prices for the 930 are through the roof, high for the 830 and the 730 has held its value well. I'm not looking for a bargain, but can be patient enough to find a good machine at market value. Are there any other Bernina models I should consider?
