Both of these machines are Grace products. I would also suggest if you are looking for a mid arm there is also the Baily that is a nice mid arm and not in the high cost end of things.

Singer chasis and very easy to operate. I am pleased. I don't long arm quilt as a business but I keep it pretty busy with just personal, gifts, and auction items. The price is the main reason I originally looked into this machine, but since that time the other brands have come down considerably.
