All 3 machines are made in the same factory. They are "almost" the same machine. I have the Brother, but my daily machine is a Juki. I love both machines. I would discourage sewing on a plastic folding table. I tried it and hated it. A wooden folding table is much, much more stable, albeit more expensive as well. The vibration drove me crazy in the week it took my DH to modify my sewing desk for my new machine.
