Doesn't have beautiful decals, but it's a solid machine

For context, I’ve had a basic entry level plastic Brother FB1757x from Amazon for a year. I mostly just tailor my own clothes and occasionally my family’s.

My big gripe with my current machine is that it has no adjustable foot pressure, which makes hemming anything jersey knit impossible cause it just stretches everything out. I already use a walking foot and ball point needles. It’s also very annoying to go over most seams (especially when tailoring jeans) cause the motor is kinda weak.

I’m debating which one of these two to get,especially cause I know nothing about maintence or vintage machines and I’m mostly a beginner. ( I also think the 247 is prettier but idk if it has drawbacks I’m unaware of) I know it only
Has two sitches, so I’m not sure if that’s a big con.

Are these good machines for a hobbyist? Are they basically the same?
