I have the Avante. I've had it for almost 2 years. I don't quilt for hire, just myself, friends & family. I haven't had any tension issues. This is how I set my tension:

Not sure what you mean by 'drag'. The machine moves smoothly and evenly on the frame. In order for this to happen the frame needs to be square and level. This is where I was so happy I had it installed as they spent quite a bit of time getting it true. I do not have a robotic setup, I enjoy hand guided too much.
