There is the janome horizon, babylock espire, elna excellence which is new and looks nice, brother laura ashley NX-2000, bernina 440QE, pfaff quilt expressions and many others, these are some of the more popular high end models, everyone loves each for different reasons. my first suggestion would be to set a budget of how much you are willing to spend, what features you want throat space, needle down, accessories, go to a reputable deal and test drive test drive test drive as many models in that price range until you fall in love. Also for simple straight stitch machines designed mostly for FMQ for a little less money from the wallet you can do a brother PQ -1500s or a babylock jane, or a juki T98Q i think it is, hope this helps
