I like my Janome MC6600
It has the auto cutter and the auto down feature. It has a side bar for my leg to lift the pressure foot but I am kind of a short person; 5'3, and I have a hard time using that but otherwise I couldn't ask for much more.
I will be adding a Janome 300e or 350e in the near future, like for Christmas.
Happy Shopping
