One of the reasons i didnt go for bernina. Overpriced for features, ease of use, tension issues i had in classes, accessories overpriced. Really for me its comfort. I have used every brand pretty much on the market. I still would choose my v-series brother dreamweaver overall. There are features on pfaff like idt i liked. Janome i felt was comparable. The stitch quality on viking saphire still cant be beat. The only machines i did not vibe with were the bernina 550qe and the 765 as well. I did love their q20 but not the price
