Show Your Favorite Machines?

The following quote by Wizcrafts in the thread "Sewing Machine Reviews", April 1, by kgg,  (https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/85358-sewing-machine-reviews/), as well as comments from others are pointing out a need that could be met to a large extent in this "Show Your Favorite Machines" thread.

Wizcrafts said, "I think that due to the high cost of industrial, especially leather capable industrial sewing machines, that few people can afford to buy competing brands and assess them for nothing more than shits and giggles. Without some form of reward, it makes no sense to invest in competing brands simply to do online reviews. With a reward, there goes impartiality. Brand A might offer a full package of accessories and Applebee's coupons to a reviewer for a better assessment over brand B.

Not yet mentioned is the fact that some the dealers selling the top brands discussed here are run by a couple of people and not a large company. These few good men are usually busy assembling and adjusting machines, then getting them shipped, from the time they open until they can finally shut the door and go home. This doesn't leave time for video reviews".

If when we posted pictures of our favorite machines, the comments also included what features and capabilities make them our favorites, (as well as those weaknesses we're accepting), it would be a powerful resource.  It would not be the most definitive review by any means of a machine, but it would be a starting point with a user's real life experience.
