I have the Juki 2010 and love it. It's simple, basic and has the larger throat. The best way is to find a dealer or show and test any machines you think you might like. I found a friend with one and used hers first. Once you decide check with your local dealers and see if they will match the internet prices. I was delighted to find mine matched online pricing. He set it up in the shop, tested it, told me all about it and now I have local servicing.
