I have a Janome 6600P. I have quilted full size quilts under it with no problem. I did stitch in the ditch. On a large lap quilt I echo quilted it and satin stitched around the pansies. I used the even feed foot with no problems. I like it for garment sewing and for piecing quilts. It runs quietly and I have had it over 3-4 years and never had a problem with it. It has never been in the shop.

I don't have either so I don't have any advice but had to comment on your little Westi. He/she is adorable! I have one too so your pup really caught my attention.
Good luck on your machine search. I'm sure you'll get a lot of feedback from the members here who do use those machines.

For piecing and garment making I LOVE my Featherweight. It makes a perfect straight stitch.
Obviously for quilting you will want something with at larger throat, but for day in, day out use in piecing and regular sewing I don't think there's a machine out there to beat the Featherweight.
