I have two other machines that do embroidery AND one that has a ton of stitches, this would mainly be for just quilting...I am leaning towards the Juki :-)

TIA
It truly depends on WHAT you need a machine for ... both are very good machines. I have a Pfaff (not that model) and the dual feed is fantastic for piecing, straight line quilting, bindings, etc. My Pfaff is good for quilting smaller quilts & projects but has limited throat space
The Juki is very fast, straight stitch only & has a larger harp than std. It is NOT a longarm though. I have a V. MegaQuilter which is very similar. They are GREAT for machine quilting - but you may not want it as your only machine ?? Those are SUPER prices for both, if they are in good shape. Is it possible you can buy BOTH ?? If so, you'd have the BEST of both worlds !! :)
