I want a long arm for table set up - no frame.

So far I ruled out
APQS George - its too expensive for me
Baileys home quilter - the vertical throat size is 4.5"
Voyager 17 - vertical throat size 5"
They are sure great for quilting on a frame, but for my purpose I think higher would be better.
On the Nolting quilting bee I was not able to get enough info online.

So I am down to
Queen quilter eighteen - 18" x 6" and
HQ Sweet Sixteen - 16" x 8"

Anyone owns either one?
- why did you decide on yours and not the other one?
- how loud is the machine?
- do you have problems with vibrations?
- does it need lots of maintenance?
- do you know a good online dealer shipping internationaly?

I would highly appreciate your help
