A longarm is a big expense to take on when you've only seen one brand. I agree with the others - go to a show, try them all, join the forums, take it all in. Nolting may still be your choice, but at least it will be an informed decision. With any longarm (I own an Innova) there will be times when you're frustrated and times when you're content. When you're frustrated it would be best not to question your original decision.
