Welcome!!! from another Ontarian ... who doesn't live all that far from Mississauga!
I have a Janome Decor, which is only a few yrs old now. It wasn't overly priced IMHO, and had a lot of inclusions when I bought it. It's done everything I've asked it to do, so far!! However, I suspect sewing machines are like most things, and are outdated, and so mine is probably outdate now.
I know there aren't a lot of sewing machine specialty stores in your area. I'd really suggest that you take a drive to Guelph to Triangle Sewing. They specialize in machines ... have several types. Chances are they will take your machine as a trade. You can bargain with them a bit too. They have lots of machines on the floor, and will sit down and demo them to you ... and let you try them out too.
When it comes to servicing, they have an onsite technician. And yes, because you bought it there, you get prioritized over others who did not purchase from them.
They are the best .. and no, I don't work for them. I just know that I've been very happy for the two machines I have purchased from them and know that they have the best reputation and a most loyal following as a result!
Good Luck .... you're going to love this Board!
