Default Long arm solutions for vision impaired?

Hello,
I am relatively new here and have been searching and researching information about machine quilting and perhaps purchasing a long arm machine but I have run into a major problem! I have to use a machine with a needle threader because I have vision loss that has destroyed my depth perception. I can eventually thread a needle on a domestic machine but when I took a lesson on an HQ machine the needle was just too far away for me to see the hole at all! Both of my machines (Juki HZL-NX7, and Viking Epic) have decent harp areas, a Grace or Inspira frame set up be a viable option or not worth it at all? Do they even have those kind of things set up somewhere that I could try that before taking the plunge and buying one? I live close to the middle of Michigan and can go pretty much anywhere in the state
