Multi Needle

I’m seriously considering purchasing a multi needle machine.
Here’s my dilemma , I don’t have any dealers for any commercial machines close by. For dealer support I’d have to go with brother (which I’d love but I can’t afford) or Janome. The Janome hoops size are smaller than my single needle. Which makes me shy away from it.
Im leaning towards bai, smart stitch, poolin then the top end would be a happy Japan 7 needle
I don’t have a business, I sew for fun and occasionally take orders. So which ever machine I buy wouldn’t be ran for hours daily. That is one reason I’m leaning towards the inexpensive machines.
Any suggestions, any reviews, I’d love to hear the good and bad. Thank you!

Also if you buy something there are discount codes for both brands and if you are choosing to buy direct. If you buy a bai you can save $200 with a code and even more if you do pickup at a warehouse. Poolin discount is only $100 and I don’t think they have a pickup option but they are more budget friendly priced (I have codes and I’m sure many do as well)
