I had the Brother SQ9050 for 3 years and made almost 40 quilts. The tension finally crapped out so I donated it to GW. Bought another Brother cs6000i for $99 and it's a nice little machine for piecing. I wouldn't pay more than $100 since it's not worth repairing if it breaks. Not a lot of space to FMQ anything bigger than a twin. It's my back up to my new Juki 2200 plus it's great to teach my granddaughters how to quilt.
I say get it....you're only out $100. I think you can find it cheaper than $149.
