I have the 6600 and love it. I do like the accufeed on it. In fact I hardly ever take it off. I sew everything with it. Any Janome machine will be a wonderful addition to your sewing room. And used machines are sometimes available at your dealer, also have the dealer check for the ones the company has used as displays. There's a list that comes out every week that the dealers get and it has machines cheaper than list and still under full warranty.
