I'm moving out of the country and my mom offered to buy me a sewing machine as a gift. My whole life i've been using her old bernina 1080 and i love it. The new machines with screens intimidate me a bit.

Onto my dilemma, i found a 1080 second hand for 450 euros, while the newer machines would be closer to 2000 euros. I really just want to get the 1080 as it's cheaper and i'm familiar with it, but i'm also scared it might not work properly or break in the future as i have no idea how it was handled in the past.

Should i play it safe and go for the new machine or go for the older instead? Would love to hear your thoughs!
