I would like to suggest that you go take a trip to your dealer - now that it is the first of the year they may be ready to sell the floor models. I got my Husqvarna/Viking Topaz 20 for well under $2,000.00. So far I have used it mostly for embroidery because I do have the Janome 6600 P for quilting and my Singer 15-91. But I did take lessons for all the bells and whistles and loved how it sewed. It can sew jeans like Levi/Strauss for one example.
So try to have good sales resistance and check out as many as you can and let them give you the best deal available.
PS: Do not let them know how much you have to spend.
