More than the machine, you need a special leather foot and a heaver needle. If you are looking to buy a sewing machine check out the best sewing machine.

A heavy duty or commercial machine will work.  A better machine is a' walking foot' machine.  Portable walking foot  machines run $400- $500.  The foot will move the leather as it sews it.

I remember my grandmother always complaining when I wanted her to repair my leather jacket with her machine. So I bet denser materials require stronger machine.

As leather is heavier, denser and thicker than common fabric, you do need a powerful and sturdy sewing machine.   However, there are common models that can handle the stress and bulk.  An assistant at most sewing centers should be able to point you towards an appropriate model and necessary accessories. 

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.
