Very happy with my Janome 6600 (2+ years and no problems) and my Viking MegaQuilter (5+ yrs) also made by Janome. Both are workhorses !

Mine is a much older Janome but I have had really good luck with it.

I had the 6500 for years and loved it, gave it to DD and bought the 7700. I love it too. I have a Juki on a frame and the Janome 3160 to take to class (I had the Janome 720 and 760, but the 3160 sews most like my 7700).

I decided to go with the horizon 7700!!! It's being shipped Monday

Congrats ! I purchased a 7700 this summer. Love every minute sewing on it. All of my piecing is much improved using it. I also have the Memory Craft 11000 SE. It's old..never a problem with it; love the quality of embroidery on it.. however, it appears that my 7700 is better for piecing. It's extra nice (saves time, too) having one machine set up for embroidery/QITH projects and one for regular sewing.

Janome 6500 now for 9 yrs. Great machine with a 9 in. throat opening, knee lifter and auto push button thread cutter. The plain straight stitch version is the Janome 1600. Besure to get the one with the auto thread cutter button and the knee lifter.

Love my janome but she stays at home. If you intend to take the machine to classes I would sew on them to get a feel and pick them up to feel the weight for carrying. I think all the memory craft are heavy.
