Did you look at a Janome Hd1000 ? I'm a sucker for metal machines, but it is intended for heavy, not recreational, use. Or a Brother Cs 6000i, which has really great reviews. Or loom at used machines! Which can offer significantly more value for the price. Make friends with your local sewing machine dealers, if you have any.
