I have a Voyager 17 with the Hinhty Stretch Frame. I purchased it on Craigslist almost 2 years ago for a very reasonable price. I went this route because I didn't want to invest the thousands of dollars into a brand new expensive machine on the off chance I would not like longarm quilting. With that said, I went to Lancaster last weekend and have now decided I want to purchase an Innova 22". I test drove ALL the machines there and decided the Innova was the one for me.
You really need to make sure you test drive ALL of them and spend time with each of the reps. Go back a few times! I was there 3 days and found myself going back each day asking another question I had forgotten the day before!
Don't make this an impulse buy! All the best with your decision!

I have the basic stitch regulator. I would love to have the new lightning stitch (not really a stitch regulator, but it improves the performance of the stitch regulator) but it would be an expensive add-on, and I can't say that I need it. I haven't seen it demonstrated yet but the reviews have been fantastic.

As it looks right now, I think i am going to just get a frame and use my current machine on it...I have a Juki 98TL Q, and i am either looking at the majestic frame or pinnacle frame for it. There is soooo much info out there, it's enough to give you a headache.
