Exactly!
That was one thing I marvelled at when I test drove the S16 .... all the clearance.
What a great view you had of your quilt and of your quilting.
Plus of course, the extra space that gives for outmaneuvering the quilt sandwich.
The wider DSM throats are great.
But they just do not give you the vision you get with the S16.
And can be cause for a lot of push and shove thru the hole when doing a larger quilt.
