I have a Viking Mega Quilter that is made by Tin Lizzie. It has spent more time at the factory in the 4 years I have had it than in my quilting room. Last year I treated myself to a HQ Avante. The mega quilter will be used for an anchor on someone's boat. LOL Seriously, I would suggest simply looking at the lines of people testdriving other machines and then how many are at the Tin Lizzie booth. The last 3 quilt shows I have been to had no one at the Tin Lizzie booth, and hoards at the HQ booth and the other booths.
