The main reason I wound up with the Brother is because of the service I received from my local dealer. That and they offered me a better price. I would recommend either one. I cannot say anything about that particular Janome model because I am not familiar with it.
Just got the Dreamweaver and love it-I also have the BabyLock Symphony and love it as well. The Baby will go in for the first time in 3 years to be services. I broke a needle and jammed the bobbin case. My bad!! I have never had a problem with the machine and have carted them back and forth to classes. The machine are multi-faceted and are easy to learn. Manuals are easy to read
