In my opinion, it is difficult to find one machine that will do "everything" well.

Some of the members have a "big" machine that stays at home, and a "lesser" - lighter weight, fewer features, less expensive machine - for going to classes and retreats.

I also think there is no such thing as a "perfect" machine. In my world - "very adequate" is what works.
