I think you might like it because it has a large harp and feed dogs. You can search here on QB for more posts about it.
I don't have this machine (I have a Sweet Sixteen sitdown) but I do have a Juki sewing machine and I love it. I've never had to adjust anything on the machine, including tension, and it sews like a dream.
Hope this helps!

LyndaOH took the words right out if my mouth. I think the Juki is a good idea to try first- big ( and Tall) harp and straight stitch with feed dogs that can sew fast. It sounds to me that the Long Arm is just plain work work work and not any fun. I know two people who have sold their long arms - it wasn't for them either. Best to you in your quest.
