Here in the USA, a Janome 6600 runs $1000-$1500, a Babylock Quest Plus (very similar, but with free arm) about the same. They have a 9" harp and many buttonholes and stitches also. The Janome Horizon has an 11" harp and many high end features for the quilter, at $2500-3000. The Pfaff Quilt Expression 4 is on sale nearby for $1900, but I wouldn't pay more than $1500 for it myself-10" harp. Very good straight stitch only machines with 9" harps by Brother and Juki run $600-900. Dunno if this helps.
