Janome have a fairly good reputation, but I Goggled the machine, and while it might be a "good" machine, there isn't very much throat space, so I would have to ask, what size quilts do you plan on doing? If baby to lap, it would probably be good, but I think you'd have to struggle to do anything larger. I don't have any machine recommendations in that price range, other than to say, I wouldn't buy any kind of new Singer, this is my honest opinion.
