When I started looking at new machines in November I started out thinking I would buy a top of the line Janome, but after reading & researching I bought 2 Juki machines instead - the 2010Q and a F600.
I LOVE the 2010Q for quilting, it has increased my enjoyment of machine quilting many times over and would highly recommend it. It sews a beautiful straight stitch and has so much room to move your top around. I'm just getting started with FMQ but I know I will be more successful on this machine than my old one. The thread cutter is amazing and I love being able to sew fast when I want to, yet dial it down and control the speed too. And, it is not picky about thread, so far I've used Aurifil, Gutermann, Connecting Threads Essential, King Tut & Sulky without any issues.
