I almost bought one, but my local dealer encouraged me to buy the 330 instead of the Activa 215 plus accessories. In hindsight, I wish I'd gone with the 215 because I would have chosen different versions of the accessories had I known that was an option (e.g., a flat extension table rather than the curved one that comes with the 330, a metal open toe darning foot rather than the plastic closed toed one that came with my 330). The Activas are wonderful, simple workhorses of a machine & I definitely hope to get one for my next machine (well ... after I buy a mid-arm). Leah Day actually uses a 210 for all her piecing; if that isn't a ringing endorsement, I'm not sure what is.
