I've never tried the 2000, but I've had the 2010 for a few years and love it! I use the speed control all the time. Faster for piecing, slower for FMQ. I'm surprised anyone is still selling the 2000. I thought that was discontinued 1-2 years ago. I have a few machines, and the Juki is my go to machine. I bought it sight unseen and it's been awesome since day 1. I never have to mess with the tension, it's not fussy about thread brands.
