EverSewn machines are built by a company run by family members of the owners of Bernina. The machines are not built to the quite the same standards as “real” Berninas, but they are still one up from the Bernette lines IMHO. I seriously looked at one before I ended up with my current vintage Bernina 830 Record as my travel machine. Seems like you are used to and happy with the snap on feet, which was the only thing I had against them. If I was looking for a modern travel machine, I would definitely have looked long and hard to an EverSewn. I just ended up with a mechanical because our travel is extensive and bouncy.
