Please come back to give your opinion on this machine.. I'm interested for the harp space and the fact that it fits my janome "Universal" table so it could be recessed. I'd not be looking at all but for the very attractive price.. for me, the 6700 is lovely but over-kill... I think of buying a brother 1500 but it would not fit my table and that is important to success! the new HD9 is nice but pricey. Apparently the motor size is less than the 6700 but that doesn't necessarily mean it would noticeably effect power? Would love to hear thoughts on that from 6650 users.
