Love my Janome Platinum Jem 760 more each time I use it. I leave it packed in my rolling machine case and it's ready to go. At 12 lbs., it's sooo much more portable than my Bernina - plus no following the cord behind the cabinet, moving anything, etc.
I tried the Gold, but wasn't happy with it as I wanted a computerized model. The gold was too limiting for me as far as stitch length - you have very few lengths to choose from. Having the Platinum, which is computerized, you have infinte settings. Plus lots of cute stitches.
I purchased mine used through a Yahoo group, sewitsforsale. If you join the group, you can watch for what you are wanting to come up for sale, or you can list ISO (in search of). I only had to wait a couple of weeks after I joined to find what I was looking for at a reasonable price.
