When the price difference gets to be that large you can almost buy 2 online for the same price as one at a local dealer. I know you don't get the same service and training but the Juki 2010q doesn't look like a really complicated machine and I think you could probably get by on your own without formal training.
Myself - I would buy online and find a local repairman for servicing. Saving $600 plus dollars could fund several quilts!
