What brand of sewing machine do you have/wish you had?

Hubby is still interested in my getting a new machine...... we started looking at a Singer Futura 250, which embroiders also. I grew up on Singers, friends have Jacome, Brother, Viking.... I had a lady at church in Indiana that swore by her Pfaff... I'm not looking to start a business or anything, but figure if we're going to lay out money for one to sew and quilt with (and a few embroidery options wouldn't hurt), it will probably be the last one I purchase and would like to have some 'yeahs and nays' to go by when I start shopping for one.
Would some of you be kind enough to share your thoughts on your machines?

Thanks in advance!
