I've had no problem with the basic wooden cases? They are a bit clunky, but compared to todays flatbeds they are actually about the same. Freearm models alway look a bit lighter. However, I think the cabinet on my 201 makes a difference, it's so easly to guide and maneuver larger pieces of fabric on it.

Mickey I totally agree with you about using a cabinet. I'm always happiest using a machine in a cabinet with a knee controller. I have two favorites, a Singer cabinet for my 201-2 and 301s, and a generic cabinet set up for my Japanese machines.
