Question Which commercial machine to buy?

Hi,
My name is Kim and I am new to this forum. I have a small internet embroidery business and have been stitching for 4 years now. I love my embroidery machine...it is a home unit, Babylock Ellegante. My business is thriving and know that it is time to step up to a commercial machine. I would like to start with a single head, preferrably 12+ needles and hoping for 1200 spm (my current machine stitches 1000spm). I would like to invest in a good used unit, would prefer something with a usb port, as my computer doesn't even have a floppy drive. I stitch around 40-50 hours a week and I need something very reliable and easy to maintain. I would be happy to hear your suggestions. I was thinking about the Happy Voyager or Tajima Neo...any opinions would be greatly appreciated as there are many options out there and I don't want to buy something that I will have to turn around and get rid of.

Thanks for the opinions,
Kim

Out of the two you mentioned, the Tajima Neo would be awesome to start with.

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for the input. I think that is the machine I have my heart set on. I am hoping to find a used one, so I will keep my eyes open. I have read so many forums and discussions and feel that the Tajima model should be good and durable and a great step up.

I appreciate your help.

Kim
