I have a Gammill and it has lots of bells and whistles,. At my last Long Arm Guild meeting two of our ladies were raving about the Innova, they sold their Gammills and bought the Innova, I agree it is a personal preference. I am new to LAQ, but I do have problems when changing threads on my Gammill. I sweat bullets everytime something goes wrong because of the amout of money I spent for it. It is a love/hate relationship. Just be sure you test drive alot of them b4 you buy.
