Ditto what IrishGirl said about the accufeed.
I love it! My first machine was a used old heavy Janome, I don't remember the model. Very well made, did the job, but none of the features of the Janome 6600. My old Janome had the walking foot which was huge and clunky and you had to have that bar in the right spot and I never wanted to take the time to use it. About a year ago I bought a used Janome 6600 for $900, two year guarantee, with table and presser foot bar, free lessons and free cleanings for two years. I love it! The accufeed is so easy to use as it just lowers down. I love it so much I bought the accufeed 1/4 inch foot. I have two in college so I needed to be frugal in my purchasing, but I did want the needle up/down, thread cutter, etc. While I know $900 isn't cheap it was sure better than the $2,100 it retails for now and I decided it was meant to be!
