what sewing/quilting machine would you recommend for me to purchase?

I have a Brother Quattro and love it. I bought mine second hand (one owner) and got a very resonable price. Check with your local sewing centers - people are always turning in perfectly good machines for more/better - lol. You can also look on Ebay and find some deals from time to time. I'm looking into getting a smaller machine for carrying back and forth to guild. Good hunting!

I have been looking at the Brother Project Runway, the one with 294 stitches. I test drove the Bernina Activa 240, but was not impressed. the other one I want to look at is the Babylock Symphony. Any one have one of these machines, please give me some feedback. I really don't want to spend over $1500 which probably limits me, but the pocket book does do the talking.
thanks everyone,

I have one for embroidery (Ult2001) and one for sewing (Janome 19606).
I just hate to move the embroidery unit and put in/off the embroidery foot every time I want to switch from embroidery to sewing. It is too much time involved.
I would recommend to buy a Brother or Baby Lock for embroidery because they use the most popular embroidery format (lots of freebies around) and for sewing-quilting, an older sturdy model like Pfaff or Janome.
My two cents.

I love mine. Haven't done FMQ on it. Love the way it feeds your fabric thru. My old machine tended to kick the bottom fabric to the left.
