Specifically, I'm looking at the Janome 7700 and on the internet it is 2400, at the dealer's it is 2700. He told me the 'internet version' had the same warranty, but I would have to ship it to where I bought it from if it needed servicing. This makes no sense to me. I bought a little Bernina 30 years ago and have moved many times since, I never had to send it back to the original dealer to have it serviced. Then he told me that he 'takes care of his customers in more ways than one' - I do not know what that means. This was all over the phone. I'm making the trip on Saturday with my husband to see just what he does offer for 2700! I know dealers want to protect their businesses from the internet, but the scare tactics seem a little far fetched.
