I wish I was a lotto winner. I'm trying to get a Juki 2 needle machine but the ones that come with a direct drive is another 2k extra (also comes with a auto thread trimmer and control panel). So, trying to decide if it's worth it.

I also wonder about the same thing in regards to the energy saving aspect -- it does seem misleading. I've also read that the direct drive (with servo motor) reduces vibration and noise but how much reduction are we talking about as compared to a v-belt drive (with servo motor)? I've never owned an industrial machine, so I'm swimming in uncharted water here. I'm interested in getting a Juki 2 needle machine and the ones that come with direct drive, auto-thread trimmer and control panel are 2k more and I just don't know if it's worth the extra cost.

Hello, I saw your reply to a post talking about direct drives and using them on Juki 3578A. I'm interested in getting one and the ones with a direct drive, auto thread trimmer, and comes with a control panel costs about $2k more. Would love to know your opinion on how much you like the thread trimmer and the control panel. Also, how reliable are their direct drive machines versus a belt drive? I'm just concerned that it's not as powerful (e.g. breaks down faster) considering the super compacted motor.

What are the main differences and or advantage/disadvantages of a direct drive vs belt drive industrial sewing machine? My concern is the quality and reliability of a direct drive since the motor is so compacted.
