Try joining the homequiltingsystems group at groups.yahoo.com and asking there. I believe that's the group where I saw a couple of informative posts about the Juki. There was some complaint about it -- a feature it was lacking that indicated it had not been well thought-out before going into production -- that other setups have. It seems to me it had something to do with rulers -- the needle holding mechanism being constructed in such a way so as to interfere with ruler work. But honestly, my memory is not what it used to be and I could be in the wrong ballpark. I do remember, though, that it was a definite negative about the Juki.
Is there any possibility of purchasing an Innova? Innova quilters seem to be the happiest bunch I have run across, and many of them didn't have access to a local dealer. Innova is my dream machine for "some day".
Edit: I found these user reviews on Amazon that might be of interest:

Regarding Innova, I do want to mention that they get rave reviews about customer service, which is available via telephone 24/7.
Edit2: I found this older QB thread about the Juki. My post in that thread is #26 and explains the problem with rulers. You might want to PM the people in that thread who purchased the Juki and ask them what their experience of it has been.
