You might want to look into the Baby Lock Jane, it has a large harp. Then there is the Juki brand. I have never heard a negative opinion on any Juki, no matter the model. You don't say where you are, but if you are near an area where a Sewing Expo just happened, or is about to, it is a good time to test drive different brands. Even if you did not go to the event, many of the stores have sales during the expo, and offer the classroom machines at discounts immediately afterward. If you can link up with the manager of a store, that person is usually in a position to bargain.
