Having had experience with Chinese made quality, I'd be leary of this machine. China isn't known for making quality items unless they are being held to a high standard by the whoever is paying.
And I agree, I'd check and see if they are going to provide support and carry parts for the machine. If they have to order parts every time you need them, it can mean your machine is in the shop for weeks rather than days.
I'd stick with a Brother.
Edit: I was just talking to my husband and he made a good point. The only problem area isn't the gears, it could also be the electronics which, again, the Chinese aren't known to make good boards unless the client is demanding it and I don't know if this company is demanding high quality.
