Looking at sewing machines

isabelladangeloI've decided to get a sewing machine that will probably only last until December. By then, I should be able to afford an industrial strength machine.
I'm looking at a Brother CS-6000i, a Brother XL-2610, Juni HZL 27z, and a Singer 4423. All look pretty decent and I'm not entirely sure what to go with. Given that, I'm reading a LOT of reviews. There is one that I found particularly funny -

I'm kind of leaning towards the Brother XL-2610 only because the amazon reviews all read like something I would say/write. "I got it it because it was pink but I then threw three yards of denim at it and it works!" type reviews. I'm also trying to avoid, in general, reviews that start with "I'm a beginner" and look more for "I'm a fashion student" or "I've been sewing for a 100 years and thought I should get a better machine". Almost all the XL-2610 reviews seem to be by intermediate to advanced seamstress' and quilters which is a good thing. But, I also like the all metal construction of the Singer...so...I need to sew...grrr...
