Hi, I went to a quilt show last weekend and tried everything there - HQ, Nolting, Gammill, APQS, Tin Lizzie, Babylock, A1 and Innova. I went in with a favorite based on research and reading and came out with totally different favorites. If and when I buy, it will be either an Innova or an A1.
You really have to try them all to find the one that's right for you.
Good luck.
