I love my Viking/Husqvarna Designer Topaz and my Janome MC6600P and , my Singer 15-91, and my Singer Featherweight, and my Damascus (treadle) and last my little Europro. The Europro was the one I got to take places - light weight and if something happened to it I wouldn't have to kill someone. But I do travel to my friend's home in Phoenix with my Viking if we are going to do machine embroidery. My 15-91 is in a cabinet, so doesn't travel but very fun to use. My Featherweight travels well, but I got it years after I got the Europro. So it depends on what I am going to do depends on which machine I take.
So it all depends on what you want it to do.
