I understand about not wanting to test drive because you are scared to push up the time table but I would say do try any out you have a chance to. There were soem I thought I would want but after playing with them almost side by side at a convention there are some I would definitely not want. Those machines feel very different and what is right for one might not be for another. I really liked Innova, Prodigy and maybe A1. I was surprised some of the others were not for me. This will also help incase you ever see a used one and it will give you a sense of what is a good deal and what is not.
