I think you can do better on price, unless it's a Megaquilter 18 x 8. We bought the 9 inch Megaquilter on sale for about 1000 dollars and bought a nice 10 ft Grace frame, which is what most of them come with, for 600 dollars on sale. The speed control and lazer pointer were included with the frame. Don't know how much the panto boards cost but I doubt that would make up the difference.
