I don't have those particular models but I do have an inexpensive Brother and access to an even less expensive one and they have served me very well. My XR-52 will use any thread and sew through almost anything. It is not fussy about anything, and if I were in the market for another machine it would definitely be a lower end Brother probably from Walmart. Good luck with your decision.

My first sewing machine came from a dealer. My next two sewing machines came from Walmart. (A brother CS-8150 computerized & a brother XR-65T.) I have never had a problem with them. I am not sure which machine you should get, they both look like a good buy.

Sounds like you have a nice machine now, and 20 years is not old for a machine. If you have had it for 20 and it is fine, is the extra sts worth the $. Do you do other sewing or mostly quilting? All you need for that is a straight stitch.

I taught a high school textile class and purchased walmart machines. My ad vice is DON'T buy a walmart machine. You are better off with a used machine with metal inners. You can get better quality. The machines I purchased from walmart were awful.

These machines come with a warrenty. I don't believe an authorized repair person can refuse warrenty work.
Now if something's not covered you may have to ship it back to Brother for repair.

Yes, anyone can refuse to repair a machine. Happens all the time. Or the cost of the repair is more than the machine cost originally.
Been there, done that.
Regardless, and to stay on topic, I'd buy the machine that got the highest consumer ratings over the other.
