I have the Sensation and the Passport. I love the Passport. It has IDT and takes most of the feet I have for the bigger machine. I used it to make a back pack and it went through four layers of Soft and Stable without a problem. Beautiful straight stitch and a few decorative. It has the needle down function but does not cut or show low bobbin. I bought it for my travel machine because it is light (12 lbs I think). It does have a small throat and I have not tried fmq on it. I did get the extension table which helps. I can recommend the Pfaff machines but would test them out and buy from a dealer who will support you.
