Is this a good deal? Is this an easy set up to work with?
Any opinions and help would be appreciated...

That is a good deal. I have the Pfaff equivalent. Like Candace wrote, your pattern will be limited to about 5-6" in depth. I believe that there is a cruise control you can add on. The handles are no longer available and the buyer seems to have worked with pantograms which are great in small spaces.

If you Google this model you'll find a few reviews. The throat is smaller than the Brother PQ1500s (which I have and love, BTW) and the Juki TL98Q but that seems like a fair price for it. Here's a web that has great sewing machine reviews. Just scroll down and you'll find this machine reviewed: http://sewing.patternreview.com/SewingMachine/Juki

The Juki alone is worth more than $500. It is a semi-industrial, straight stitch machine specifically made for quilters. Yes, it's a 9" throat but you can still get a lot of quilting done. I used a smidge smaller throat machine to quilt with for many years. You can do the same thing with it that others can do with their 16-18" machines--it just takes some ingenuity--needle down/roll, partial block designs, Max Throat add-on, etc. The Juki is a very popular machine so you'll easily be able to find others to discuss any issues that come up.
