I too have a Gammill and love it. Took me years researching and testing several machines b4 purchasing it. You are considering some great machines - at the end of the day its such a personal choice. I was torn between the Gammill and the Bernina.

Thank you all for your responses!! After much deliberation, I finally decided on the APQS Lucey and ordered it on Friday. Ultimately it came down to the computerization for me. I have so many problems with tablets, computers, phones etc that I was really worried about all the controls going through the touchscreen on the HQ. If there had been a longer warranty on it (only 5 years), I might have reconsidered. I knew they were both great machines and I heard a lot of good things about both of them so I finally decided to just listen to my gut. I'm pretty confident that my husband can handle the repairs on the APQS since it is less computerized also. I would love to have tried a Gammill or Innova but there are no dealers here and I didn't want to worry about service etc. Whew, glad that decision is made....now I just have to be patient until she comes!
