I have a qbot and love it. There is a learning curve to any computerized robot for a longarm, so be prepared for that no matter what you buy. Sewing machines plus was running a good sale on them, not sure if it's still going on. Watch youtube videos of all the major robotic setups and see what feels comfortable to you. Look at warranties (qbot has 5 years), and most of all, how is their help the sale? If a company sells it, then you're on your own..not good. Look at facebook groups for different setups and see what the trending complaints are...is it user error or does the head seem to need an awful lot of factory service? Lastly...they all do the same thing...some have a few more bells and whistles, so price is a factor...learn what the basics are for 99% of them..(move a design, resize, etc.)...and what the extras are and if they're worth the price for what you'll do with it. Lastly...are the updates free or do they charge an arm and a leg for every new update coming out???
