I also wanted a long arm and spent a lot of time test driving different machines. I found my dream machine ... an Innova. The price tag was hefty, and even though I could have afforded it, I'm a practical person and I wanted to make sure that I both enjoyed and could use (well!) a long arm. So I decided to purchase a used machine to play with .. and if I liked it and became good at it, I'd get the Innova later.
I got a used Voyager on a hinterberg frame. I DO like it, and I CAN use it well enough to finish a quilt. My problem is time. I've had the machine since October and I've only finished one practice quilt and one real quilt. Until I can find more time to quilt, I won't be purchasing an Innova
