I have a couple of friends who own Berninas. I've watched them over the years and have come to the conclusion that a lot of Bernina owners (not all of them, but a lot) are like BMW or Tesla owners - they pay for the name and bragging rights. If my sewing machine can do everything that my neighbor's Bernina can do, and costs $1000 less, why would I buy a Bernina?
Anyway. I'm sure I've offended a Bernina owner or two, but that's my opinion based on my observations and experiences.
