I have the juki 2010 and it's not a secret that I love it. not sure what your budget is but if you have a need for more than straight stitches I might recommend the Janome 8200 or the 8900, they have bigger harps than the straight stitchers and they have multiple stitches. I almost bought a 8200 for the 12" harp size but I'm such a mechanical girl that I found it very intimidating.
