I agree with Jdiane I just bought a 350E along with a 6600p and going to pick them up today hopefully...Can't tell you how the Janome 350E is, but from all the research I have done in the past 3-4months, I finally settled on the Janome 350E...Wanted 2 machines so I didn't have to choose between embroidery or sewing...now I can do both....
