I only use my white one I do not like the pedal on the black ones. I have multiple machines and did not use the Featherweight untill I went on vacation and forever after it is my go to machine for piecing. I like it and with mine I do not need leaders and enders as it doesn't suck the fabric down ever. I do not use the attachements either but did get a quarter inch foot, with guide, for it that I always keep on it except for paper piecing or sewing clothes. I'd be a little nervous of the tension issues one. Maybe check out the closest one and see if you even like it.
