OK... can someone talk me out of purchasing a Pfaff Perform?

After much deliberation, I am leaning towards purchaing a pre-owned Pfaff Performance 2058. I have always admired this machine and have read many, many reviews. As a Singer kinda guy, I was very against the PP in my earlier SIS infancy and thought it was silly to compare the Pfaff to a Singer. BUT... after researching things more thoroughly, and getting rid of my pompous assumptions, I now realize that the Pfaff is really an iconic piece and could be the best diver out there at it's price.
I must admit... I am NOT a seamstress (other than quilting and stitching) and would use this much more as my daily machine for business and to bump around the weekends with. I have already owned the Brother XL-2600i and Singer 7256 Fashion Mate and neither fit the "wear with a suit or to the summer party" mold. I hope the Pfaff does just that.
Opinions, input etc. are very much apprciated.

No WAY-GET IT. It does all that plus you can play minesweeper, hearts, and frecell while finishing off a pair of Daisy Duke jean short borders.
You won't regret it Kin.

I absolutely agree! Who cares what the Singer elite says about this one? It delivers!

If your going to sew, sew it right with the Bernina Artista 640 Sewing Machine! Full color touch screen with multifunctional buttons. It's a real ass sewer!

I have one, and honestly I don't really use it that much. I have a PDF copy of the manual on my laptop, but still I get frustrated with constantly having to look up how to use all the various features and functions.
Mostly, I just use it to calibrate the stitching patterns of my other machines. It does a pretty good job at predicting rain, however.
