Hi Betsy . . . a couple of reasons. The top of the line they have (Designer SE) is costing me so much more and although I know they are wonderful machines, I don't have any experience with them

The one I got is slightly lower than the Bernina top of the line and since I already have a Bernina machine I can attest to its quality and durability. These machines are meant to be handed down to my next of kin

so I played safe (not that I don't think Viking won't)

And I think hubby wants me to stick to a Bernina Brand (he got my machine as a b-day gift over 15 years ago and it was used when he bought it

) that is why he finally agreed not to mention timing since he played his best round of golf ever

. . My formost concern is the ease of the software to convert any picture or print to digitized form and they both are pretty easy
OH I have checked both quality using the same silk thread of course and they both do wonderful work.
I did not know there was a little Bernina? My old one is super heavy
