I started out with a Janome 200E as I thought I wouldnt use it that much either. But after 7 months, I ugraded.
The 200E only has the one hoop size, i think it was a 5 x 5 or something like that.
I now have a 300e very similar the the 350e (basically it just doesnt have the USB port) and I love it. Stiches out beautifully and you can use a number of hoops on it. You get 2 hoops with the machine, then you can get the mega hoop and the little 2 x 2 hoop for small things.
Im not sure if you can get it anymore, as I got it as a runout sale for end of model clearence. But I love it, really easy to use.
