Go to a large quilt show and try out the setups the vendors have brought with them. There are usually at least 3 vendors with a couple of different setups. You can see what you like. Computerized setups are really for people who do a lot of quilting for $$$ for other people, IMHO. If you are quilting for yourself only, there are many reasonably priced setups for home use...many 18" machines with 12' frames that would work great for you. You just have to go try them out.
