Hello and welcom from Virginia. I have a Berniina 440 and love it. It is computerized so I had to take mine to my dealer and have him up-date the softwear ocassionally. There may be a way tohave that done from the Bernine websit but I am not good with computers. Mine does have the stick regulator for machine quilting which is very helpful to allow you to have even stiches when you quilt. Good luck in your shopping and quilting.
