What brand dealers do you have locally? There is a comparison feature on each brands website. I have brother/babylock machines and really enjoy stitching on them.
What is your budget and there are many different price points to start?
Perhaps a peek around this site may help answer your questions.

Hopefully, others will come along with more information.
