Congratulations on your 401. It's my "Old Reliable" machine; if I don't start a project on it, I often wind up using it for something (usually buttonholes or zigzag). Keep it lubricated and it will be a useful tool for many years to come.
As for "a couple more" - good luck with that. Remember, you won't know what you're missing unless you get it!
