I think it depends on the person. I don't mind my combo machine at all. I can sew with my unit on as well. which I do all the time unless I am FMQ with it dropped in the table. It really also depends on how often you embroider. To me its another hobby i do so I will often either be embroidering for a while or sewing for a while dependent on the projects I have going on. I tend to focus on one at a time so that is not a huge issue
