I purchased a used Brother CS6000i for $100 about 5 years ago, and it is fine for my needs. Lightweight, 60 stitches, needle down. Balks a bit at heavy seams, a bit fussy about lint buildup, and the default needle position is to the left so I've rammed a few needles with my preferred center hole 1/4" foot when starting up after lunch so I put a sticky note on it. At home I sometimes use my heavy metal 1976 Kenmore- very reliable.
