I wanted to thank you all for your responses. You all gave me some great pointers, and I still haven't bought one. I had decided I loved the Janome Horizon, but I can't justify spending that kind of money at this time, so I am now leaning toward a Brother NX-450Q. I found a great deal on a used LB6810, but the throat space is just too small on that one, so I doubt I'll go that route. Thanks again, folks!
