We have had several discussions on this recently if you want to use the search button and various combinations of "new machine" etc. Most people tell how much they like their machines. The best advice that was given by ManiacQuilter2 is to go try out many different machines. Either at a quilt show or at different dealers. What works for me might not work for you. It's a good idea to test drive them yourself vs what someone else likes. I like my mechanical Walmart version of Brother machines plus I have a bunch of vintage machines. I like them but you may not. Have fun with your search and let us know what you end up with.
