Looking into Long Arm quilting machines
#3
I have a Voyager 17 SLR on a ProFlex frame. I can't think of anything I would change because I got a super deal on it and will never be able to find a better deal. Even paying full price it is still one of the most bang for the buck systems. Now, if someone wants to give away a true long arm with stitch regulator and automatic fabric advance I'll drive 1200 miles to pick it up.

I have a Tin Lizzie 18 and am disappointed in it. So many things go wrong with it, threads break easily, tension is hard to get right.The price is good but sometimes the frustrations make me wonder if it is worth it.

I have an A1 and LOVE IT!! I just added a Compuquilter to the set up, and I really wish I'd done it sooner, but NOT at the same time I got the LA.
Take your time, go to the big machine quilting shows - MQX, MQS, Innovations, Quilting with Machines - to name a few. Drive them all, then drive them again. What is right for one person may not be right for you. This is a big investment, and not unlike buying a car. Decided what features you need. I would not be without the ergo-handles and the hydraulic lift. Just an inch or two change can make a world of difference on you back.

I am considering an Innova when I uprgrade to a larger throat. Everyone seems to really like them. Which stitch regulator do you have? The basic one? or did you pay for a better one? Just wondering if there is that much difference.
