my advice try out a few ask a lot of questions and if you can rent time on a few to see if you like it. I looked for a long time and figured I could never pay the price they want. Then one day on craigs's list I seen one advertised in my area and in my price range. It was at a dealer so went and tried it out and bought it. IT HAS NO extras but I was used to free motion on my domestic. Have never regretted the purchase and it has brought me a lot of joy.
