I bought a Brother XR 9000 last winter. I bought it factory reconditioned with a warranty for right under $200. I bought it on line. So far, it has worked great. It has the stop/start button or you can use the foot pedal, it has lots of decorative stitches and has fonts. But, the font is fixed at a certain size...that's the only thing that I don't like about it, but I don't use it for the fonts. And it came with a small quilting table. I had my husband build me a large table to go around that one. I saw where someone on this board had made one and we sort of copied it. I bought it, because of the drop feed dogs feature to learn how to FMQ. There is also speed control.
