We have a BL Gallant. It wouldn't have been our first choice, but a dealer in our area wanted to move out a floor model and offered a REALLY good price. (They threw in a lot of extras for the price of the plain machine.) He added in a laser for pantographs, rear handlebars, pantograph table, 10 foot overhead light, and casters (and a few other goodies). It has been worth it. We have since added a 2foot extension for the table so we can do queen/king-size quiltsl
If you can get a good deal on a lightly used Gallant or HQ Moxie with some extras I'd say you'll be happy "for awhiile". For us, the pantograph ability was essential, the extension to a 10 foot frame made it much more usable (for $420). Many people bought these machines and are "moving up", so check your area on FB marketplace and see what deals you can find - the add ons are expensive. Good luck!
