I'm also a Pfaff girl. I upgraded my Pfaff to a Performance 5.0 a few years ago. I love it! I think the Performance line is now at 5.2. I'm not interested in an embroidery machine and the Performance was the top of the line Quilting machine by Pfaff. As maryb119 mentioned, the IDT feature is a winner! My prior machine was a Pfaff that I had for about 25 years. The only thing I ever did was regular cleaning. That machine was actually still in great shape, but I wanted to upgrade to more bells and whistles.
