Janome and Elna: Comparable Models
I know that Janome makes Elna machines but was wondering if anyone could tell me which Elna model is comparable to its respective Janome "twin"?
Mainly I'm interested in the Excellence line as it relates to the machines in the Janome Memory Craft line. Aside from knowing the Elna 760 is equivalent to the Janome 8900, I'm a bit lost as to how they line up.
If anyone would like to give kudos to their particular model of either brand, that would also be great. I have read plenty of reviews and positive feedback on the 6500 and 6600 Janomes and am leaning a bit more toward the 8200 and 8900. It seems the 7700 was a bit of a problem over the years, so I am not focusing on that model.
Thank you in advance.
