If the convertible one for your SUV1122 is not just a darning assembly (hopping foot), but actually takes out the "hop" and lets the foot float, it will be easier than a hopping foot. If you want to do ruler work, non-hopping is essential.
Many years ago, Leah Day had a tutorial on "modifying" a hopping foot (I think she used a rubber band and a small stick) to keep a hopping foot from hopping. Here's a link
"Break your darning foot"
I would say if the Janome option doesn't hop (which it looks like it doesn't - I just googled the p/n Janome lists on their website for your machine), it will be easier to FMQ with than even "breaking your darning foot".
