I think you should be able to get it a little cheaper. I have both, and I honestly believe I will be buried with my Juki. I LOVE her. She drinks oil, and is all metal- I don't think you could wear this girl out in a lifetime!
I really like my set-up, but want a long arm in a while. I just want more space. I'm actually contemplating buying another Juki and stretching it. That's how much I love the Juki. And the Grace company is fabulous to work with- they answer all questions with "grace" and are very helpful.
I do not regret one penny of my purchase.
