Love the BL Sofia. It is portable and majorly sturdy and has every modern feature u can think of. Tested one and just could not get over how neat it operates and has every basic embroidery capability as my HViking embroidery machine on a lower scale only in that the hoop size to embroider is smaller.
I have my FWs, the 221snd a 222. They sew mega great and I get a ton of compliments because they sew so quiet and u can FMQ w them too
To be honest, there are so many machines to choose from The vintage ones stand out to me because they operate so quietly.
Best wishes on your search and happy quilting
