I have the Avante - I love it - don't have the pro stitcher because it is so expensive - but it does take a lot of room to set it up - I have the studio table and it can be set up at 4' or 8' or 12' - I have mine on 8' - it is still big - I want to add the extra 4' but need to remodel my sewing room first - definitely consider how much room you have - because you need room to move around the machine too. Good luck.
