I have the 3007 model. I really love it. I've had it for about 4-5 years now and it's a workhorse. I specifically wanted a top of the line non-computerized sewing machine, and I feel this is it. It's got a great motor for sewing through thick fabrics, needle up/down button, auto buttonholer, nice stitch selection, clear bobbin cover, etc. I bought it new and traded in my starter Viking machine, and paid about $500. I've only had it cleaned and serviced twice so far but I do clean out the fuzz from time to time myself.
