The Brother PC-420 that Girlfriend linked to is a wonderful machine. I have the NV-400 which it is based on and it's perfect for taking to classes or open sew days at the quilt shop. You don't say which Janome you currently have, nor what additional features you're looking for, but Janome makes great machines - perhaps the best in their price range - I have a Jem Gold that I also love. My old eyes greatly appreciate the threader and thread cutter on the Brother though.
