the one you picked out is good, but as odd as it may sound i would go with one of these simple brothers, with the details you added.

i dont have a need to do tons of fancy stitching, i just want the basics. because i dont have the money to buy a super high end model though, the middle quality ones that are computerized seem like a problem waiting to happen, where theres often a computer problem.

so i greatly prefer mechanical type machines, and in general am on simple is good, or at least not bad =)

I have a janome derby portable machine.

I've also used a vintage singer featherweight and a modern singer mini machine. The janome derby is better.

However, a basic full size machine will give you more value. This is a perfect first machine, and not much more than a good portable machine.
