Qbot is still being marketed as Qbot as of April 2011. Quilt Artist is a different setup at this time (they ended their relationship or something like that).
I have the Qbot on a TL18LS (2009 model) and love it. I got a demo for under 1700.00 USD and the software was about 200.00 USD. For the price, I couldn't beat it.
PCquilter Side Mount was going to be over 3,000 USD by the time I got everything I needed...and it would have taken up about a foot of my frames quilting space. The Qbot takes up about 3" if that...love it!
Nothing to disconnect to do free motion...just don't engage a qbot design...and you are in your normal machine mode.
