Only buyer's remorse you should have is -- you didn't buy it sooner. I have the Juki TL98QE and love it, only a straight stitch machine, all metal, sew a beautiful stitch and works as long as I want. On weekends I sew about 8 hours a day. Just oil it up every so often and it is good to go. All brands have a sell on Juki machines. I would for sure buy another. I quilt on it but, don't have a frame, throat space is 9".
