I have the Juki 2200 QVP Mini which is the same machine as Susie has with different badging and a few extra feet. I bought mine for FMQ also, but I tried piecing on it and it's great for that, too.
Machines are a really personal choice. My advice is to go try out a lot of machines at your local dealership. Before you buy another machine, you might look into investing in an FMQ foot made for your Viking. They are sometimes called a darning foot.
