If you are interested in a straight stitch machine, the Janome HD9V2 is hands down better than the Juki2010...search you tube for "why I chose janome hd9 versus JUKI. THERE ARE TWO videos out there. I saw them before buying the HD9V2. My dealer gave me the Quilter ruler kit at no cost. It sells for $169. The cost of the HD9V2 HAS GONE UP due to shipping costs. Great machine. I use it for bag making, leather, and quilting. I have Janome 15000, 8900, 6600 and HD9V2, love them all.
