I'd prefer a non-computerized machine; something that's intuitive to use and of good quality. I was looking at the Juki HZL 27/29Zs, but another member (thank you!) told me theirs was a good machine but loud - so I'm still looking.

I have several older singers and they sew very quiet and really good zig-zag, I too also think the heavier the machine the quieter because the machines are so heavy the do not vibrate near as much as the newer ones. But with that being said I do not have a high dollar sewing machine either. That too might make a difference. I love my 9 singers lol and I have a few more that are not singers but sews really well.
