I looked at a bunch of different ones at the Lancaster show, took my DD for a 2nd set of eyes/opinion. She loved the Handiquilter, which as I understand is the same as the Crown Jewel. I didn't seem overly impressed with one over the other there, but when I went to my local sewing machine store and they took the time to really show me the CJ with the tablet attachment, I was wowed (as was DH). They have 48 month financing starting toward the end of April (which I'm sure runs periodically) but that is a bonus.
