I have been speaking to my dealer about the Babylock Crown Jewel, which is I believe essentially the same machine. He recommended it over everything else he sells. I'm still weighing it against the Juki 18x10. Both get good reviews on the internet. Here is my thread asking for reviews:

I didn't search on the HQ, but you should be able to find some users with it also. Let us know what you decide. FWIW I am leaning toward the CJ right now because of local support.
