I have a Juki 2010, and I love it. It's fantastic for piecing, and as others have said, it is also great for free motion quilting (and walking foot, too, for that matter). I highly recommend setting it into a table for a nice flat quilting surface - I have a SewEzi - not expensive at all, and highly portable for retreats and such. For managing the bulk of the quilt while FMQ, you need support both behind the machine and to the left. I bought a couple of folding tables from Amazon - 20x48 inches behind, and 20x30 to the left. I have the whole setup in a corner so that the quilt can't fall off either to the left or to the rear. Works great!
