recommended embroidery machine

I am getting ready to go out on my own and am researching single head, multi needle machines. There are so many choices. Can anyone give me a recommendation on a quality machine at a good value?

I have a very lightly used Pantograms GS1501 that I will sell you. It seems to be a good machine, my business needs have changed and I'm looking to get rid of it. Reply back with your email address if your interested and ill send you pics

Only Tajima!
I'm Tajima owner for 12 years (have 2 single head machines) - works day and night. Superior
support. The best quality!
I have 2 Ricoma machines - it is nothing.
Also I have 4 head SWF machine. Good machine - but the worst support I've ever seen...

I have seen both Barudan and Tajima new models barudan BEKY model and Tajima Tmar type 2 both are outstanding machine but tajimas is more expensive and you cant beat barudan performance and value. any of them will be a good investment make sure you have a local or close to you technician.
