I have a 475 Kaffe Fassett Edition, 2 Artista 180's and a serger (I can't remember which one) I love them all! I also had a 1630 and would love to have another so I keep my eye for one at estate sales. The 180 is my go-to machine to sew anything heavy or challenging or to do buttonholes. That machine makes the most beautiful buttonholes and they are so easy. Love my Berninas.
Thank you for starting this thread, Ashley. While Berninas are IMO an acquired taste, once you acquire it you love them!
