You absolutely cannot beat the Juki TL2010Q if you are looking for a straight stitch machine. I have one and I am in awe of it. I believe the best situation is to have a WORKHORSE mechanical machine for quilting and heavy work and a separate computerized machine for sewing and embroidery. If I were in your place, I would buy a Juki 2010 and enjoy it. In the future, I would plan on purchasing a computerized machine. I saw the Jazz at a LQS and was quite impressed. I shopped for several months before replacing my Janome 9500 with a Janome Horizon MC14000, but these machines are quite costly. I am pleased with my new machiine, yet the Juki is still my go-to machine for many things. I need both machines and when I take one in for service I still have a good machine to use.
