Oh, I came sooo close. In the end, I chose the Pfaff PowerQuilter P3 because the dealer gave private lessons and I don't learn on my own easily. I really considered the Juki though, but they kept pushing back the release date, which I suppose was good because they were making sure it was just perfect before it went on the market.
The price is good, it has the extra take up bar so you never have to adjust the height. It has automatic scissors, although now that I've gotten used to my long arm, I'm not sure if I'd use that feature anyway. The lighting is really good under the needle on the Juki as well. It's definitely a sleek looking machine, but I wish they hadn't used that bright blue as the accent color on it.
I'd love to hear what other people think of this new machine. One of my local dealers has it set up in their shop and everyone I've spoken with seems to love it!
