I bought the 2010 last summer, it is a great machine and has a nice stitch. It has terrible lighting, so I will solve that with led lights under the throat, and I need to take it in and have them adjust the thread trimmer - currently it cuts the thread about 1" from the bobbin! I have seen a lot of people say that the walking foot is loud and clunky, they must have improved it, because mine it pretty quiet. I do wish that the machine came with feet that attach like the Bernina, I love that machine, but it was giving me fits with FMQ so I bought the Juki for that, but so far have only pieced on it.
