I have the Pfaff 3.0 love the built in walking foot. I use it all the time and I must say I can see a difference in the stitching , verses my other machines. Has nice features that come with it and it is light weight. Look for dealer support also when buying a new machine.

have a 6 (or 7?) year old Janome Jem and it goes to class with me as well as on airplanes and to retreat. It has never caused me a problem and I love that all my Janome feet fit both it and my bigger Janome. Weight is about 10 lbs.
Also, I kept the molded Styrofoam packing and carved channels, to accommodate the housing for my carry-on suitcase's pull handle, into the piece that fits the front of the machine. That way, when we are flying, the front of the machine is totally protected from bumps and dings.

I traded in a couple of problematic Singers for a Brother Simplicity--it's light weight, is computerized so I have my needle up/down feature, has a built in 1/4" and a needle position adjustment so that it's actually accurate! I don't have a walking foot on it or FMQ foot as I only do those things on my Elna Quilt Pro Queen.
