I love my Pfaff!!!!! I have a Pfaff 7550 and a 2144 with the updates. I love the duel feed feature. i won't have anything else but a Pfaff. My quilting buddy was looking for a machine. I took her to my Pfaff dealer and she purchased the machine you are thinking about. She loves hers! No problems at all. You can't go wrong with a Pfaff.
