as far as I know industrial machines are clunky. so, I want a portable, less noisy machine with the most capacity for the money. thus whenever I would need to sew thick material, I would be better off with the one that I decided to buy.

many 332s that I searched for looked somewhat old. I found a 362 in seemingly pristine condition. besides, if 362 is the better heavy duty one in the 3xx series, it would be reasonable to pick it instead of 332. Though I am not sure which one would be better. and you have been saying that the same model can differ in itself according to the production year. how much would this change the performance of the machine? especially that of pfaff 362. and is there any way to identify this difference? the one that I am looking at for now looks thick painted with somewhat darker gray as compared to other pfaff 362s that I saw. though it might be because it's near pristine condition.
