My Juki2010 is still my favorite, even with the electronics no longer functioning correctly. Very glad I learned how to disable them so the machine would still work. Though I miss the thread cutter, I think I like it better with pedal control of needle position. It's actually very easy to stop it needle up or down with just the foot pedal, and I really don't miss the occasional extra stitch it would make so it could stop with the needle down every time.
