My vote would be for a Janome 8900. It does have an 11" throat and those extra couple inches really make a difference imho. However, you need to decide what is best for you, so I would say like so many others have, go out and test drive and talk to lots of dealers. Then, of course, you need to let us know what you decided on and this should be a very good Christmas.
