I have the JANOME 8077 from Hancocks. Had it for over a year and let me say>>>>>> I LOVE IT!!!!!
Even my Janome dealer said he couldn't believe what a deal it was (took it in to get a foot for it. I always take a machine with so i can try on parts and save a trip if it doesn't fit.)
Also, before you buy extra feet try some of the ones you already have. A lot of the feet I already had could be used with this. Just give them a little test by turning the hand wheel so You don't break anything.
It is perfect until I can afford the Janome 6600. I say GO FOR IT.
Here is my Janome 1600 P-QC on left and Janome 8077 on right.
