There's a song that says, "Be with the one you love...Love the one your with....." or something like that ! Just think we should all enjoy what we already have and not spend time crying over what we don't.

I have learned my lessons too, one is not to accept everything sales people say or promise, it's a shame our world has come to this. Even with buying a Bernina - he didn't tell me I have to buy another place to do straight sewing or the beginning of the fabric will bunch up and go down into the hole below, I have to use a piece of fabric to start it then move what I am working on under the needle, not a big deal but again sales people not disclosing everything!! I asked a million questions and thought I had covered everything. Now that I think about it when he was showing me how to work the machine he started somewhere in the middle!! I didn't catch it.

They are most likely still engineered in Switzerland and as long as the QC is good, you're okay and I can't imagine Bernina not having good QC. The problems with overseas-made items are usually due to a lack of quality control.

It depends on the company's QC. I have a Pfaff that was made in the Czech Republic, now I think they're made in China. I was at LQS Bernina dealer and saw that the lower end machines are made in China. At the Viking dealer, some are made in Korea.
