I have a#1, D1 & diamond. I had an Se and love them all. If I had it to do over I would have kept the Viking SE that I traded for the diamond only because the SE did most of the things I wanted to do. You can embroider on the diamond and then sew w/o having to take embroidery unit off which is a nice feature. You won't be sorry with a Viking unless you don't have a good dealer but that goes for any machine you buy.
