I have 3! A 221 and two 222K's. They have the freearm. As far as "only sewing a straight stitch", I have found that usually I only sew a straight stitch. And I sew clothing as well as quilty things. I have the latest and greatest Janome 11000 in my sewing room and a lovely Babylock serger. I tend to sew on my Singer 301 and my Featherweights. They are trouble free, easy to maintain, all metal so they won't wear out, and great to tote around. I have one at the trailer most times because space there is limited. I would think very long and hard about selling a little gem like a Featherweight. I won't part with mine, and expect that they'll outlast my modern computerized machines, which I likely will not replace.
