I just purchased the Juki Exceed 600 which is just one model up from the 400 and I absolutely love it. I bought the 600 as it was only $150 more and came with a lot more stitches and the quilting table and a couple of extra feet which I felt was worth the extra money. I feel that the Juki machines are excellent and you seem to get more machine for your money than with some of the other brands. I know my Juki sews rings around myh Janome 6500.
