I bought my Juki 2010Q from a dealer in California, had it shipped all the way over here to R.I., and never regretted that purchase for one hot second! My Juki is AWESOME. I wouldn't trade it for 5 Janomes! Seriously, you won't regret it. Because it only does straight stitches, as you already know, for my other sewing (I do make garments and other things as well as quilt), I use a Brother machine that I purchased from Overstock.com. The price was great and, again, I haven't had a bit of trouble with that machine either.
I know you prefer to purchase from a dealer so you can get something for the Viking machine on trade-in, but I wanted to put my two cents in anyway.
