check out the machine quilters society- or forum---you will find all kinds of comparison charts- views & recommendations- my recommendation is--to visit and test drive as many as you possible can and ask as many questions as you can think of- like space requirements, set up, delivery, customer service, maintenance, tech support, owners classes/training, upgrading, ... the list really goes on and on- as you try out different ones you will think of other questions that pertain to you & your situation- but training, and customer support/service should be a large part of any decision- it is a big (investment) so you should be as informed as possible before making it.
