I have a model 358 and love it. It's not computerized and sews like a charm! Now I won't give up my Janome 10001 for her, but I sure do enjoy sewing some things on her. I've had her for about 6 months. Her name is Chelsea and she's never given me a minute's problems. She only has 6 or 8 decorative stitches, but I didn't buy her for that. That's what the Janome is for. She straight line quilts, but since her feed dogs don't drop, I've used my old Morse for FMQ. If you can get her cheap enough, you'll love her. She is short shank, so you should be able to use other feet on her.
