There's a nice Pfaff on eBay at the moment if you must have a newer machine

The dual feed design and high lift presser foot make it appealing for heavy-duty work.
I'd still preferentially buy an older, all-metal machine, ideally with an external motor.
As far as the Singer Heavy Duty goes, the Necchi Q132A (or Q411A Jeans Pro) seems a better bet at that price range
