Hi Lotus,
Make a list of what you really want:
size
computerized or only free motion
classes for learning to use it
price
and any other questions.
I have the HandiQuilter with the ProStitcher. Got the HQ used and added the computerized portion when it came out and was on sale. I had classes locally. I was at another quilt guild's meeting and met another HQ person. She told me she never goes to the local reps for help ... just calls HQ and they walk her through any problems. I tried it and she was sooo right on.
