What are comparable machines to the Adler 669?

That depends on what features you care about.

The Juki DSU-145 or Juki DSU-245 may be candidates with similar capabilities and price point. 

 

Pfaff 335 is the old school standard bearer for small diameter cylinder arm machines.

The 669 is a new generation of this design.  It has a longer throat of 13" vs. 10.5", foot lift of 20mm vs. 13mm, and max stitch length of 9mm vs. 6mm.  I am getting this machine in 201.  More money but way more features that are for the better.

Juki's new generation only has the 2341 which is like the 869.  They do not make a narrow arm machine in this new generation.  Pfaff made one for a while like the 669 in their Powerline series but later dropped it.

 

Weaver Leither has the heads in stock in the ergo series.

Thx for the quick reply. I’m in the market for one and I’m trying to narrow down the brands. I like the functions, including the longer arm of the 669, but it is way out I’m price range, even the accessories are expensive. The Juki’s and Consew’s sound more realistic for me, may I ask which Consew you went with? I own a 206rb and love it

So which Consew model did you find comparable to the Durkopp Adler 669?
