I know my questions are getting a little tiresome. Sorry.

Are there any major advantages of one machine over the other?

I can't find much info on the Seiko, so there's that.....

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

Was that supposed to be a Seiko model LSW-8BL?

From what little I can find on the Seiko it is a high arm version with 15mm knee lift and uses #8 thread. If that is the metric measurement then it would be 346 from what I am finding.

So I guess it would be a much heavier stitcher than the 206.

 This machine uses same hook as newer models from Seiko, LSWN-8BL/CS & LW-8BL/CS andLSWN Series.  Not a high arm, but a long arm.  I would say would top out at a V207 thread.

...and maybe I was incorrect, this could be for sure a high arm model.
