Default Thinking about getting a Juki straight stitch machine

I'm considering two Juki machines, both have excellent reviews. They are the Juki TL2010Q priced at $999.00 on Amazon and the Juki TL2200QVP Mini which at the closest dealer is $1399.00. For that extra 400.00, you get a real commercial motor, otherwise both machines are the same except for paint job. My question is do I really need a commercial motor? I do not sew 24/7 and probably will use it exclusively for piecing. So when I'm quilting a project, I may not use it for days. And, If you consistently run a high speed commercial motor at low enough speeds, you risk burning out the motor. I'm not Suzy speed sewer.
So, If you had the choice, which would you purchase? Also, has anyone purchased the 2010 from Amazon? I got burned once with a Singer , don't want to do it again. TIA....
