Default Featherweight shopping and education.

I have recently started to learn more about featherweight machines and think I would like to save up and get one. I’m trying to learn all I can. My main reason for purchasing one will be to have something lightweight to take to classes with me. I am enamored with how beautiful they are too though. So far I’ve learned a little about them. There are 2 different models the 221 and 222 correct? And so far as I can tell they range from about 400-2400 dollars. What are the main features/factors I should cover in my research and make sure a machine has? For instance I’m seeing that some of them are wired for the European market and are not plug compatible here in the US. Also I’ve read that I should make sure a machine has an original bobbin case?

any and all info/opinions/education is/are welcome, thanks!
