I have a Babylock Jane and I love it. I also have a Juki TL98 QE Both straight stitch only, I do have several others.
My daughter has the Brother 1500, straight stitch only. All are wonderful machines.

I agree with you, Jingle. A major objective for me in purchasing another machine was to increase harp space. The BL is now in first place and my Singer 15-91 comes in second place for harp space.

Jane is the machine I use for quilting and heavy duty sewing such as denim. Since May 2014, I have pieced and quilted 5 quilts. ( All the grands are covered!). /
Currently, I am sewing 2 layers of fleece with poly batting for a friend. Jane handles it without a hitch. I have cleaned and oiled her twice since she joined my sewing machine family. FMQ is an accomplishment I hope to successfully achieve using Jane. When I do, that will be MY skill, not that of a stitch regulator or computer driven program. She is definitely a basic straight stitch only machine that delivers a strong performance! I think you will be pleased.

Congrats! I think that would be an awesome machine to have!
Well, I finally did it. I bought the Babylock Jane which is the straight stitch only mechanical machine. I was agonizing over the Brother 1500 and the Juki 2010 and ended up with the Babylock, essentially the same machine. My dealer carries Babylock and Brother only. He sold me the BL for $30 more than the online Brother price. He also agreed to fix the needle threader (I broke it) on my Brother NX450 at no charge.
I came home and cleaned up my sewing room (again) to make room and I'll start messing with the machine tomorrow.
Sooooo. This makes me a Mommy of......
2 vintage Singers
1 1980's Pfaff
1 1970's Kenmore
1 computerized modern-day Brother
1 mechanical modern-day Babylock
Life is good.
