I really love the machine for the throat space, lighting, thread cutter, power (it sews through many adjoining seams in an 8-pointed star without much effort). I love the speed control for free motion quilting and the free motion feet it comes with are pretty great. The one thing I miss is dual feed. My Pfaff has IDT and I'm finding it hard to live without it. And I'm still on the search for the holy grail of perfect quarter inch foot for it
But yes, because of this machine I've sewn so much lately that I'm actually sore! I had to take a break! I needed the time away from life's greater problems so if I never sew another stitch, the cost of the machine is less than a therapist! ;-).
