I have the Bernina 830 as it was the first machine I bought after we were married in 1976. It has been a wonderful machine and has given me very little trouble over the years and I have stitched for miles. Just last week, I was offered $400 sight unseen by a dealer for it. Evidently they have a waiting list for those machines and the Mennonite ladies in our area seem to really like them. My only problem is that it is hard to machine quilt a queen sized quilt with them as the harp is not as large as on my Janome 6500 which I bought just for the extra space needed for the large quilts that I often do. I don't think you would be sorry that you bought this machine. I hope it comes with a walking foot as feet for this machine are quite a bit more expensive and generic feet won't fit.
