I have both a Husqvarna and a Pfaff (although they are a couple of years ago's top models - not the current top models). Anyway, I use the Husqvarna more for embroidery because it seems the software is easier for me - and I find that I use the Pfaff for everything else. The build in walking foot is wonderful! Also, it seems that the Pfaff is more reliable for everyday sewing.
