I'm with you! I have 2 Berninas. Not top of the line, as I have no interest at all in embroidery and can't justify the cost of a newer model to get the BSR - the only thing I covet.
The problem with my beloved Berninas is that they are HEAVY. A metal machine is going to be. So I bought a very highly rated Janome Platinum Jem to take to classes, retreats and sew-ins. I had a Jem Gold that I quickly traded for the Platinum, hoping that having the better of the Jems would satisfy my desire for a computerized, lightweight machine.
I've used it a couple of times; it sits in a wheeled case, unused and unloved. I should do something with it, but do not have the box (how dopey was that?) and just haven't faced dealing with advertising, packing and shipping.
