Welcome to QB! I had a 1630 and still have my Artista 180. I do love Berninas. I quilted a king sized quilt on my 180 using Marti Mitchell's quilting in sections book. It worked very well.

About 5 years ago, I bought a Juki 2200 QVP Mini which is the equivalent of the Juki TL 2010. I bought it for quilting quilts because of its larger throat space. I have quilted a 60 x 90 inch quilt on it with no problem. There is something of a learning curve since it's a mechanical straight stitch only machine, but I'm used to using vintage machines so it wasn't too bad. As I remember I paid about $1,000 for it then. I have no idea what they sell for now

I've also just completed RaNae Merrill's online FMQ class "30 Days to Free Motion Mastery". It was an excellent course and I really learned a lot. You might want to look into that.
