I studied lots of You Tube and user comments and finally bought a Brother PQ1500SL. About $600 from a dealer on ebay. Couldn't be happier. It is modeled after BabyLock Jane I think. Only sews straight stitches but for my free motion quilting it is perfect. Took awhile to get adjusted to it because bobbin placement is awkward and it has no speed control. But it sews beautifully for my purposes
