Check out local dealers. I think it is important to have service tech close by. Try out machines at quilt shows and see which one feels right and fits your budget. Make sure you get the sturdiest frame you can afford. It does make a difference on how this quilt loads. I have handiquilter Avante with a stitch regulator and 10 foot frame. I can load up to 110" (it's tight) but I don't do many big quilts and the frame fits my space with room to walk around it. Good luck on your search.
