I looked at both the Janome 8900 & the Bernina 710 this spring. The Janome was $3,000, no trade in & probably no
classes as the dealer was putting the store up for sale. The Janome dealership is now 1-1/2 hrs away. Bernina dealer gave me $400 for trade in(only paid $600 for the machine) plus classes & is only 20 min away. I was leaning to the Bernina so took DH with me to see what he thought & He felt the Bernina was the better deal. As was mentioned earlier,
service & personal attention/help is very important. Now I just need more time to sew
