I have a Janome New Home 2030DC. I got it on sale for $500. It's not fancy, but it works for me. I've had no problems with it and have had it for about 2 1/2 years now. I FMQ on it, the throat is small, but I just deal with it :-) When I got it the extension table was included. I did buy my walking foot and 1/4 inch foot separate. I would recommend my machine. I would say buy at the top of your price range to get the most upgraded model you can afford so it will be longer before you have to buy another machine.
