Janome Skyline and skyline S5
 
I have a chance to buy a skyline but some reviews are for Skyline 7.
Are these the same machine or is the 7 an updated version of Skyline?
If anyone has machine(s), I would appreciate any input about it.
Thank you.


Edited to add....Sorry about mistake in title..should be Skyline 7.

The Skyline S7 has more features than the Skyline S5. You can compare them on Janome's website.

I have a Atelier 7; I think this is called a Skyline 7 in the US. I like mine a lot, it is heavy though! I bought mine in the spring sale, and it had a quilting set as a freebie thrown in. Lots of different feet included (3 FMQ feet), good manual, has a knee lifter, large foot pedal, stop/start button, easy to read screen, I like mine a lot, I had a smaller Janome before this, and gifted it to one of my nieces. It has a soft cover with pockets, not sure if I prefer a hard cover - but it would add to the weight. Advertised here that the 5 is aimed at dressmaking, and the 7 at home decor etc.
