I too am a Pfaff gal.. Started off with a used 2058 back in 2005 then bought a 2170 (which I gave to my daughter). I replaced the 2170 with a Creative 2.0 and recently picked up a used Creative Sensation.. I still use the 2058 for classes and retreats and the Creative sensation I use daily. I love the Pfaffs - the IDT is fantastic and I would not be without it. The Embroidery stitches as well as the straight stitching and specialty stitches all stitch out beautifully. Imho, you could not go wrong with one of the newer machines
