Don't ever over look a vintage. I don't do embroidery or very many fancy stitches but I inherited a Husky/Viking 6460 from the 1980's and I have never had any want for more. I know my mom paid a lot of money for it new but it is such a work horse and has lasted all these years with a lot of use, I just can't say enough. Also when I first got it, I had the viking dealer go over it and tune it up, he said this was a great model and to keep it going because it is a problem free model and one of the last ones really built in sweden.
The best part, they sell on ebay all the time for around $50!
