Changing feet on non-Bernina machines?

I switched to Bernina about 2 years ago. Probably my favorite feature on my machine is how easy it is to change the feet. Open lever, pull off foot, put on new foot, close lever.
So my question to y'all - what are other machine brands like? I knew I wanted a Bernina when I upgraded... meant to look at Pfaff and Babylock but fell in love with my machine when I first saw it

I also have a pricey Husqavarna Viking & I fully agree with how awkward it is to use that tiny screw to chg. feet. Some are clip-ons but I'm always using my 1/4" foot & walking foot & they require that teeny screw. I have to spend way too much time fiddling with it.
I also don't like where they put the reverse button. It's on the front right above the needle. My hand gets in the way of seeing my stitching to get ready to backtack. I thought that was a really crazy design.
I have a cpl. of other problems with it but always assumed it was just me.

I too have Pfaff machines and like them. I had Bernina 200 previously but did not find it to be as user friendly as the Pfaff. I have to check out that Brother Quattro, tho I am not buying in this economy. Just want to see it in action.
