I have both these machines set up all the time and alternate between them depending on what I am doing. I like to FM or quilt using my walking foot on the TL98Q (older version of the 210 but very similar) because it makes a great stitch and has more space in the harp. I use my Exceed 600 for piecing and all of its fancy stitches. Now if they would just combine all of these features, it would be the perfect machine. On the other hand, in Canada I could buy both of these machines for less than $2500 and I think that is good value as other brands are definitely more expensive to get similar features.
