I purchased a Cobra Class 20 from Kevin at Springfield Leather a month ago. I may have the first one out. I wanted to sew saddle skirt belts with 207 thread and it plays with that task. I haven't used it enough to get as versatile as with my Toro 3000, but it will get better the more I use it, I'm sure. I was going to go with the Class 18 but wanted the heavier capabilities in case my 3000 broke. Great people to work with. Visit them if you get the time.
