Question Industrial Sewing Machine for Quilting?

I am very happy with my domestic, but would love to have more room under the arm. I had a machine with 9 inches and that helped, but I don't want to spend $500+ for 2.5 more inches. I'm wondering about Industrial machine for quilting. I am not familiar with commercial sewing machines or anything like that, so I need all the advice you have! The good, bad and the ugly!

I know they are noisy, but I can live with that. I know they are super fast, and that part intimidates me..
Is there any reason they shouldn't be used on quilts? Do I need special needles and bobbins? Is there anything that I don't know about that I need to know or look for?

Thanks in advance!
