I don't have any experience with the small Janomes. I do see people praise them, too. However, based on my experience with the 7700, I would go with the Brother.
I LOVE my CSi 6000... I've used it the entire time I've been in school. The last thing I made with it was an apron for an art class. After I wash the apron, I'll post a photo of it. I was getting the hard case for the machine so I could put it away and that's why the dogs ran into the table. I really just want another one of this because it was so easy to use, but at the same time, I'd like to look at other machines. Perhaps I'll ask for another Brother for my birthday and get a used machine as backup.
