Money,,big issue. Figure out what you can spend. That can direct you to certain LA's. If price is the the fthe most important prolbem then don't go looking at things outside that price range.. The LA's can intice to get more of a machine than you can afford. The lower end frames can be bought seprately from the machine. You do have to look at the machine you put with the frame.The grace frame especially the HQM has versitilty. It will quild all sizes. It just takes alittls exextra to put the needed extention on. Machine is importajt too. Speed, workhorse, the throat. Juke has a great one. there are good in all price range. If price is not a problem you still have a problem. Buy one that has lessons that come with it,plus possible divd to take home and go over. You should have fun!!!! can't over state that feel comforable. Some have a high curve on learning, if you need the extra help you have to look at those that offer domming to your house. It isn't the name. Do you like what it can do does it feel right.Can't go wrong if you have those thingsl
