I have a 2046 Quilt Expression - is that what you are looking at? I bought it about 6-7 years ago?? for about $1900. It's a great machine, but I find it very fussy lately, and I'm not sure why.
I am not a FMQ (yet...) so I can't really give you my opinion on it.
I'm very happy with it, and I think for that price, you really can't beat it!!
