I have an 2 Elnas, 2 Brothers and a Juki TL98QE . Depending on what you are going to use them for go with a Brother. The more expensive Elanas are also very expensive to fix when the break/malfunction. The Brother is a good sturdy machine, I use one here at home and one for class. Now the Juki is a workhorse and that one I have on my Grace quilting frame and I use it only for quilting. So again depends on what your use will be. I like them both.
