My second choice would be a Janome.

I'll be interested in hearing what you end up buying. I've got an old Brother 8500 and an old Pfaff 7530. I have been thinking of adding a new machine and have considered the Janome and Bernina line. Anyone know how much the Janome Horizon is running?

Whatever you do just make sure you buy from a reputable dealer, that they give you classes, and are close for servicing your machine. You don't want to buy one come to find out that the closest repairman is 100+ miles away. I also love brothers, and have also heard good things about the laura ashley NX-2000/Babylock Symphony(updated QC-1000/ Babylock Espire). I hear good things about Janomes too. I have alot of accessories to brother which is why i stick with the brothers and babylock brand. Something you might want to consider if you already have a prefered brand of machine getting 2 compatible machine so that you can interchange accessories
I also agree with test driving several machines and getting one from a local dealer. They are an invaluable resource when you have questions or concerns.
Good Luck :thumbup:
