Viking husqvarna 400 computerized

I bought the Viking husqvarna 400 computerized sewing machine in 1994 for around $700.00. It has paid for itself many times over and has never let me down.
I use it mostly for home projects like draperies and have also made delicate garments such as Christening gowns where I use the decorative stitches. One of the features I am pleased with is that the tension rarely has to be adjusted. The Viking husqvarna 400 sews through the heaviest fabrics and gets constant use.
To this day, I am not interested in complex machine embroidery (I think using a machine to embroider is "cheating"). It also does beautiful buttonholes (which is the reason I originally bought it).
I would recommend the Viking husqvarna 400 computerized sewing machine to every kind of sewer and I just saw a used one at a Viking dealer for $395.00 so it has really kept its value (not that I would ever part with mine).
