I just bought a Janome 1600P show model on Ebay. Compared to the Juki 2010 or 2200 mini, it exceeds in over all initial quality but comes at a higher price. Juki's are great as it comes all the accessories that are extra with the 1600P which is why the Juki's are so popular. (Bought new, the Janome 1600P is $1,049 and the Juki 2200 mini is $1,199). I was able to buy a "like new show model - less than 2 hours of use" 1600P Janome with the Professional Accessory Package (that includes an extension table, walking foot, etc) for $749 total (no tax or shipping). Because of the huge price break, I bought this deal immediately. Juki's are great machines but have too many initial quality control issues being reported (needle shaft not being centered which can make the needle scrape the stitch plate hole and also make the walking foot not work correctly and/or the walking foot making loud noises). In fact, the Juki walking foot issue seems to be a cronic one that even the new 2200 is plagued with. To be fair, there are a lot of Juki 2010 or 2200 with no bad quality issues, but it seems to be a hit or miss situation. Bottom line, Janome 1600P is the far better machine as you can have peace of mind that the Janome will not have any of the quality issues the Juki can have, but will come at a higher price as you'll have to buy the Accessory Package for the 1600P QC. I just happen to get very lucky finding this deal
