Juki F-300 Exceed
 

Does anyone have this machine? Opinions? Is the harp space acceptable? Before I drive two hours to test drive, I wanted to get your thoughts. Thank you in advance!

I don't have that one. I do have a Juki TL98QE and it is wonderful. The throat space is 9" and I can quilt anything I want on it. Had it since 2008 and no repairs yet. I keep it cleaned and oiled. I have quilted many quilts on it.

I don't have this machine, but have been wanting to get the Juki f600 for quite awhile now. Juki makes good machines. The harp space is 8 inches on the exceed series. If you do end up going to look at the f300, also take a look at the f600 if they have it there. Basicly they are the same machine, but the f600 comes with the extension table and the knee lift (optional on the f300), has more stitches and twice the amount of lighting on it. At my Juki dealer there is only about $150 dollars difference between the two machines which would be about the cost of adding in the table and knee lift.
