I have a 301 and it's a wonderful machine. I"m not sure I'd pay $300 for it though. I just saw one last Saturday at a garage sale that was in beautiful condition in a cabinet that was also in good condition for $125. I probably could have gotten it for $100. But it depends on your area. That might be the going price where you live.
A lot will depend on what you want to do and how much you want to spend. I have a Juki 2200 QVP Mini (very similar to the TL 2010) that I bought to do FMQ. It's an excellent straight stitch machine and has the added benefit of a large throat space for quilting larger quilts. I paid around $1,000 for it 3 or 4 years ago.
If you don't need the larger throat space for quilting your quilts or have another machine to quilt them on, I'd definitely go for the 301. Mine is one of my main piecing machines. Good luck and let us know what you decide.
