I bought the Janome 8900 in August and I am very satisfied with it. It is a perfect machine for quilting and piecing. I have no problems with it eating fabric. I think you would be satisfied with any of those three machines. They are all great. Go with the one where you get the best service and sew on each one. One of them should "feel" right to you and have the features you like best. That's the one to buy. As you can see from the comments already, different folks like different machines. I have several sewing machines of different brands and love them all. Have fun shopping.
