I can recommend the 7700.
You have me confused here ...
**what does the 7700 have that the 6600 does not, for consistent FMQ stitches?
**you mentioned the 7700 has auto tension and adjustable FMQ feet ... is that the same blue dot bobbin case? and the specialized FMQ feet that you use with the 6600? or are you referenciing something else?

The auto single hole plate would be nice .... and the 2" extra throat would be amazing.

If you'd help me sort out my confusion ... I'd sure appreciate it!
