I just bought the Janome 6600 and even though I haven't used all the features yet, I think it was a great purchase. I had a chance to sew on the Janome 6600 and the Pfaff (can't remember the model but it was the model in the same price range) side by side and I felt that the Janome was much smoother than the Pfaff. The only thing I really wanted from the Pfaff was the integrated feed and the Janome added it to the 6600 so that's all I needed to make my decision.
