I love my Janome 7700 Horizon! The added harp space is such a nice feature. Also, it came with many feet so there really is not any feet to buy separately, unless there is a specialty foot that is out of the normal sewing realm. My friend who has a Bernina said her machine did not come with all the feet Janome did and she ended up having to buy some feet separately. I would definitely go and test drive different machines and brands to see what feels best to you. Also, buying from a local shop is a good idea, since they will be close if you have questions etc. when you start using the machine at home. Good luck.
