I have both the Horizon and the 11000 SE and love them both. That said, if I had to choose 1, it would definitely be the 11000 SE--she's my baby!! Several reasons besides the embroidery--bobbin low indicator, easy to read screen, needle down (yes, the others have it, too, but easier on the 11000). Have had my 11000 SE for over 5 years and still in love! Good luck with your decision.
