I have not used the EZ3, but I have the Grace frame Z44 which is the more deluxe model. I bought mine used for $250 with the clamps and cloths on the poles. It has been worth every penny. I have a quilt on most of the time. It is also useful for basting a quilt for machine quilting. If you have the room, I think you will like it. It is a good price. You might want to check out the Z44. They are advertised used quite often here. Just make sure it has the nylon gears rather than the wooden gears and the metal poles. As someone else said, make sure that it has all the parts and the instructions to put it together.
