My dealer sells both the Babylock and Pfaff quilters. After looking, trying and researching, I purchased the Pfaff 18.8 for almost half the price of the Babylock. I like Babylock products, just not their prices! I highly encourage you to take a look at the Pfaff 18.8. Pfaff also has the Grandquilter which runs about $3000 including the frame, but it's throat space is about 9 inches. So far I have been very happy with my Pfaff.
