BabyLok Quilter's Pro - stright stitch only, about $1000 from local dealer, does REALLY fast straight stitch and amazing FMQ. Comes with all kinds of feet including walking foot although I dont even bother with it since the FMQ is so good.

actually, not knowing if your looking for one for a frame, i would say to not get the 6600..,(if your planning on getting it on a frame.)
it is to heavy for lifting on and off a frame. and has to many bells and whistles to waste on a frame.

i would get a Juki..nothing fancy,and great on a frame! ( i had one on a gracie pro frame.)

The Janome 1600 is also a good machine for quilting. i think they can be bought for around $800.00

Both have 9" throats.

Pattern Review website has reviews of sewing machines by users. pros/cons and prices they paid. worth checking out:

I have a Janome 1600p on my Grace Pinnacle Frame and I really like it. I did remove the feed dogs and put them away for safe keeping, but that's the only thing I modified. I'm happy with this very fast straight stitch only machine and I hear it's also good for piecing if you don't keep in on the frame.
