[net.consumers] Viking sewing machine quality?

I am in the market to purchase a sewing  machine as a Christmas  present for
my wife.  One of the machines under  consideration is a Viking 940, yet some
(non-Viking)  dealers have told me that Viking quality has been declining in
recent  years and they are now being  carried on name  alone.  This could be
true or it  could  be a sales  tactic  to  persuade  me to buy one of  their
models.

I would greatly  appreciate  comments from anyone who has purchased a Viking
(of any  model) in the last six  years in  regards  to their  quality.  Both
favorable and unfavorable responses are solicited.

A decision  will need to be made by December  10, so a prompt reply would be
appreciated.
