I want to add my comments about the Juki! I have two: the TL2010q, which I paid full price for and have never regretted purchasing. I also have the Juki F400 from the Exceed Series, which is the machine I probably use the most. I bought that one used for $500, directly from my dealer. I love this machine. I thought about the HZL series, but it was too noisy for me and I just didn't like it as much when I was trying it out. I can't say enough good things about either Juki. I'm so glad I have them. If you have a Juki dealer in your area and love the Exceed series, you might consider asking your dealer if she has a floor model or used model she's willing to sell. When I was purchasing my TL2010, I wanted to stay below $500, but loved the machine so much that I put it on layaway.
