i have the 8900 and love it!
i not only recommended it to a friend, i talked her into buying one for herself. LOL
i'm sure you'd be happy with the 8200.
i would recommend you compare prices between the two models first, though, because i don't think the 8200 comes with the extension table in the box. if you plan to do any of your own quilting, that will make a big difference.
if you'd save money buying the 8200 and table separately then i'd say that's the way to go.
