if you can afford an M7 you'd love it for sure. the 6700 would also be a great choice if it's a better fit into your budget.
I sure did like the M7 in the store when I tried it out a few years ago! Just don't like the price, really arguing with myself about that part. I think a Janome 9410 or 9450 falls in that same price point. I am glad to hear more positive feedback on Juki, most of what I read is positive. I believe I will end up with either a Juki or Janome. I'll have to call the couple of dealers within 2 hours of where I live and see what machines they have on the floor. It's been a long time since I have demo'd a Juki, that alone gives me great pause. Though I hear wonderful things about Juki Junkies. I appreciate your response!
