I'm really grateful that you posted about your new machine. I have been hoping to upgrade in a few years when I am able to retire. I've seen the new models that are better and more expensive than the red horizon but had no idea that your model existed. I went to the Janome site to check it out and the red one is still there, yours is there and the two pricier models. I really want the bigger bed size but am not so sure that I need mega stitches. I'm going to try to get down to my dealer soon and see what he thinks. (He's a great dealer, there will be no hard sell). I have the DC 3050 and love it already.
