Also, I am taking two longarm classes at HIQF - one with Jamie Wallen and one with Bethanne Nemesh (sp?), both using Innova machines. By that time I should be well informed in my buying decision.

Excellent plan and congrats on being able to keep your common sense on this!
Doing the certification class then renting a machine for several projects is an outstanding way to test things out. I did that when I first started looking (still haven't bought but am also almost definitely going Innova when I finally bite the bullet), and it eliminated a brand from my short list.
