I have a Gammill Classic Plus (the plus means it has a stitch regulator). Yep...agree with them all...try out as MANY machines as you can get your hands one. Don't be pressured to buy at the show, but be aware they may have show specials. You will be surprised that one till stand out and become your favorite! I have had 2 different frame/machine set ups. One fit me better than the other. I'm glad to say its the one I have now! You might also be interested in a used machine. Try looking at www.houseofhanson.com on the left side there is a link that has used machines. Also on the APQS site. You do not have to be a member or have an APQS machine. They also have different machine brands. Good luck and happy hunting!
