I believe the Babylock Quilters Choice is now the Jane, which I just purchased this past spring. It has an 8 3/4" throat, is straight stitch only (you can get different feet for it tho) and is perfect for piecing and fmq as it has 1500 stitches per min. I do use my Babylock Ellegante for piecing and embroidery (also 8 3/4" throat and 1000 stitches per min) and the Jane for FMQ.
