What size throat does the Crown Jewel have, assuming that is the machine you will use for quilting?
Being a Bailey owner and knowing they make, 13" 15" and 17" - for a whole lot less $$$, my comment would be
unless you are getting a L-o-n-g arm....26" or so, you are spending a lot of money and not getting a good amount of quilting space. . I would never be satisfied with a 9" arm for quilting. It is just too limiting, especially after the quilt is rolled on the take-up bar. If you have that kind of money to spend, go for something bigger...so you won't be wanting to Up-grade later.
