If you have the money and want to try it I don't see any reason not to. It's advantages are mainly in it's size and weight, otherwise a full size and even the 3/4 size machine have most of it's features and even a few more; takes the same needles, feet, same narrow set feed dogs, etc. It certainly has a charm factor, the small size makes it very cute. I fixed up a 201 wich has become my favorite; it's in a cabinet and it's the one I use for most sewing. It's a joy to work with, and it came as a bit of a surprise, these things you really don't know until you start using it.
