I have the Bernina 570QEE for about a year, and a 440 for 10 years before that. My retirement job is 1 day a week at a Bernina dealer/fabric store, and I have sewn on most of the current Bernina models. Within the current 700 series, the higher number, the more features/accessories it comes with. That said, the B740 comes with 5 feet: Reverse pattern #1C, Dual feed #1D, Slide Buttonhole #3A, Zipper #4D, and Open-toe #20C. If you use the overcasting stitch, you will want the Overlock foot #2A, it is sized for 9mm feed dogs. My other favorites for a quilter-obviously a 1/4" foot #97 or #97D, again sized for the 9mm feed dogs instead of the #37 foot. I love the #10 for edge stitching and stitch-in-the-ditch, the #23 for stitching around raw edge applique, the #29 (or a BSR) for free-motion, and a #71 8mm flat felling foot for machine sewing down binding. Also love my walking foot. So many excellent feet available but spendy; they do have 25% off several times a year. Make sure you dealer is one that you are comfortable with and that they offer the guide classes you are entitled to. Have fun with it!
