I have a Pfaff top of the line 7440 or some-such. I have a Janome 11000 also. I MUCH prefer the Janome. It is much more user friendly. I'm sad too to see Pfaff go by way of China for mfg. Where's our pride in "American Made"? I've had Elna machines in the past and they come right off the same line as Janome...one owns the other...and it was/is a great machine too.
