I test drove the Juki long arm and didn't care for it. The machine had a lot of vibration, hard to control while quilting a straight line. I also test drove the Handi Quilter Avante, and the Pfaff power quilter p3. All are 18 inch longarms. I liked both the HQ and the Pfaff, and bought the Pfaff because of a special price they were offering. I've had it about a month and love it!
