IMHO Janome is very user friendly. The only draw back that I can think of is the weight, the 6500, 6600 and 11000 weigh approx 25 lbs. I am not sure about 7700 but is would assume that it is about the same. Also the 'size' can make it difficult to transport, I had to purchase a a larger machine tote ($$) not just one of the standard/cheaper ones.

I say GO FOR IT, you can't go wrong.
Weight isn't really an issue - I have a Featherweight, or might keep the 4800 for classes. Once I'd staggered up to the attic with a new machine, it wouldn't have to be moved very far!
The 4800 hasn't been problem-free, and for a while I'd decided that I didn't want another Janome, but there's no denying that, apart perhaps from Bernina, which I can't afford, they do seem to get more positive comments than any other brand.
