Default What brands of Long Arm machines would you recommend?

Is there a source that gives a comparison of each brand of LA? I'm hoping I can find an honest comparison, someone who's actually used different brands as opposed to someone well-meaning but is passing along information she's only heard. :~)

I was at the Mid-Atlantic quilt festival last month and saw every brand of LA there is. I was able to test drive 2 of them, the Tin Lizzie and the Gammill. I wish I could have tested more though. The vibration in the handles of the Gammill was very noticeable on high speed, the Tin Lizzie felt soooo smooth, and I was going as fast as it could go. I'm thinking no one in their right mind could possibly quilt that fast, but it does have me wondering what the differences are between machines.

Anyone care to give their experience with a brand? I'm very interested in the Tin Lizzie.
