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.

Have a great day! :)

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
