I purchased a Bailey last year and I'm still in the practice stage. (I need to get more sandwiches made) but so far I really like it, I do a sit down and use the Machingers as anyone on QB will agree they are a great help!!! I only looked for a machine on line and since all the others were well over $2000 I went with the cheapest priced model on the market. I'm very pleased with it...I have the 20" model so I think I have enough room under the harp to do a king size quilt...I will find out one of these days!!!But my purchase with this model was due to the fact that I am nowhere near having a 'showcase' quilt. That's ok by me...I just want to make quilts that get used! There isn't one bell or whistle with this machine but it's sturdy and with the table I paid just under $2700. But I would very much buy every bell and whistle if I thought I would use them. Again, this suits my needs and my quilts are not masterpiece works of art! Good luck in your search and let us know what you decided upon. Some of the ladies here have some nice machines...check them out!!
