It's easy to maintain and I think the frame/table is the sturdiest in the field (at least from what I've seen by taking lots of LA classes at major shows on other machines). They hold their price. Classic Plus can be retrofitted with either the Gammill Elevate (tablet, predesigned programs on their Creative Studio offerings, which you can check out on their website) or their Statler--which is considered the deluxe computer set-up--you can either use the predesigned programs or create your own. If you are running a business and want high turn-over a computer driven machine is smart--you can crank out a lot of edge-to-edge pretty fast! I do almost strictly custom work (rulers and micro quilting) so my handguided works just fine for me--but I like that I could computerize on the machine I have. I know lots of Innova owners like the Lightening Stitch regulator on their machines--I don't know if that's standard or extra $$. I will say that when I've used Innovas at shows I thought the frame was not as heavy duty and I didn't like where the on/off button is--even though I'm average height I had to walk to the back of the machine to use it.
