Juki TSU-471 or Just go for a 441 clone?

Hi,

New here. I'm looking for feedback on a Juki TSU-471. 

I have a lead on one

I'll be making dog collars and belts

Thanks!

The Juki 471 is more suitable for sewing nylon webbing since it has lower feed dogs & teeth on the upper feet (which could be ground off BUT you still have the bottom feed dogs w/teeth that can mark the bottom of the leather) The 441's can be fitted w/a smooth feed dog that won't mar since it has a needle feed.
