Absolutely! I used to wonder what in the world I needed a serger for, but I bought a little Brother 1034D from walmart.com for about $200 and now, I can't imagine
not having a serger! It's the easiest thing to thread and switching from normal edge-finishing to narrow rolled hems takes 10-15 seconds.
I'm also 'thinking' about thinning my collection down to just a few machines but I can't make up my mind which 'few' machines to keep. :(
I keep running into the same problem. ;) I love all my machines except the 301 - I'm not crazy about that one. It's completely refurbished and I have bought her a whole slew of original vintage attachments and modern gizmos, but I just never got attached to it like I have with most of my others.
There are a few more that will be easier to lose than others, but after those, it becomes a challenge to figure out what to get rid of. They're all great for different reasons. :)
