See which one you like the best. Right now, the Juki 2010 is very well priced and at two vendors includes the walking foot.
I have the brother 1500 and it is for quilting. it is a real workhorse and will handle heavy fabrics with ease. I can quilt a king size easily and it is cheaper at $799 ( I got mine for $649 on Amazon) than all those others.
