I tried out my APQS Millenium with short test drive but didn't compare others with test drive. Just did a lot of internet research and liked the way the company does business. They are all about customer support. I also love 1. The way the handles can be angled to what works best for me and/or project I'm working on. 2. Option of hydraulic lift for whole bed of machine. If I have to unstitch or pin I don't want to bend any further than I have to. 3. Option of electric quilt advance. I love being able to use the foot control to advance or unroll the quilt. Very helpful when doing custom work. Love my Millie "Matilda". And the company who made her. 😊
