FYI - an ergonomic lift if invaluable - the table can be raised or lowered even just a fraction if that's all you need. You can sit down or stand up and after quilting for hours if you adjust the table just slightly it takes the stress out just that much. I consider it an invaluable thing to consider.
Also, when I was considering what to purchase I not only looked at the big shows but when I really wanted to see what a certain brand was all about I actually drove to the local rep's house, she explained everything to me, let me play and I was there the entire day! Now if that's the kind of service you get when you have an issue then it's well worth the price.
