Hi Pat - I have not yet made a final decision but I continue to research. I am thinking the HQ Avante may be the machine for me. However, APQS Lenni is on a very good sale right now (but I have not been able to test drive the Lenni and don't know when I would be able). I do think show pricing is the best. If you are looking at machines I would recommend you try doing as much research and test driving as you can and then hopefully there will be a show where you can make your final decision.
