I had a Babylock Quilters Pro for about 18 months with NO problems at all. While sewing on a Babylock Esante at our Project Linus monthly gathering (at a sewing shop), I fell in love with this one so I traded my machine for this upgraded model. I've had it for 4+ years so far and it's only been in the shop once for cleaning.
I also have a Babylock Enlighten Serger and love it. Have had it a little over a year now and use it regularly. No issues AT ALL.
My personal opinion is that Babylock makes a quality, reliable product and I wouldn't buy anything else.
Not familiar with the one you mentioned but would suggest you sit down at it and try it out to see if you like it.
I converted my quiliting buddy to Babylock. She was an avid Janome fan but now has the Babylock Symphony and loves it.
