Question Bernina Sewing Machines

My Viking sewing machine is not doing well. The stitches are minuscule, and I have been told it could be the step motor. I bought her in 1998, and the part, if she is fixable, could be around $300. I don't know if she is worth fixing, or if I should get a new machine.

I have a Bernina 880, but she is not transportable. I want something that I can take to classes, that has a number of stitches on. I have been browsing online, and have looked at the 530, the 330, and the 350PE. I like that the 330 and 350 are fairly light - 18 lbs., while the 530 is about 30 lbs. I'd like to hear from others who have these machines, and who can recommend the machine to me.

Thanks!
Michele
