I have a basic Janome computerized machine - the 2010. I believe they just use the year as the model number for this one. It is a really great machine - costs maybe $450 (?) new. I also love my big Bernina (the 750) although I doubt you could find one of those used cheap enough...anyway, like several people said, check your local sewing machine shops for trade-ins and make sure you like the repair person, in case you have to take it back for tweaking!
