Default FMQ and bobbin orientation question

Hey all,
Any one noticed any difference in the quality of their FMQing when using a machine with a horizontal bobbin versus one with a vertical bobbin?

I'm checking out new machines and have noticed that I have to be much more careful about hand speed to avoid eyelashing on the backside when using machines with a horizontal drop in bobbin--I've noticed it especially on the Viking Sapphire machines that I've test-driven.

I've never had that problem with my 34 year old Brother which has a vertical bobbin and I've quilted lots of quilts over the years on it.

Thanks,
Rob
