I had both of them and it has been a few years since I upgraded to the 3160. I think (but may be wrong) that the 760 has more button hole options and it has a button with the lock stitch but the main reason I remember I liked it better was because it was more stable when I was sewing. Because of how light they are, they sometimes wobble when you sew fast and I remember the 760 did not do that as much.
