Pam and Judy - thanks for your input. While checking online I also see the Tin Lizzie 18" - more money then I wanted to spend, but the more I read and hear from others I'm thinking I better go with an 18" throat. I have a $250 gift certificate with Viking and they have the new 18" Mega Quilter - same as the new 18" Pfaff machine since they are made by the same company - but I can't find any pricing info on them. Hopefully I can take some time this week to go "play" with the Viking, Pfaff and Tin Lizzie. Guess I'll try to sell my Juki on ebay. Thanks again for your help!
