I hate changing the needle, and know I don't change it as often as I should because I have such a hard time getting it in correctly.

My Juki industrial also has round needles, but I can get my nose a lot closer and have better lighting, plus that one the hole goes left right instead of front back and that seems to be easier for me to line up.
I have no idea if this could help you, but I have a small mirror that I hold behind the foot of my sewing machine, so that I can see the other side and that helps me position the new needle. Each machine is different, so that may not do you any good.
