I have an older Kenmore, along with an inexpensive Brother and a ("not inexpensive") Janome 7700. I love them all . . . but especially love my Janome!
When you talk to the dealer, ask if he/she can give you a better deal on a floor model. They may have a few "miles" on them BUT any kinks have been worked out and they have to be kept in great condition, in order to represent the model being sold. The best part is the discount!
