Have a Janome 11000 and the new Horizon 7700. I sew on a real nice desk that the machine sits down into with drawers and a leaf that pulls out to the side for a serger (I use it for my laptop to transfer designs to the 11000. My basement serves as my sewing area. It's very nice and cold down there and I have cable TV to watch while sewing. Got the sewing credenza on sale at my local dealer. It's not a Koala, but Horn is good too, I think.
