I just recently purchased a Janome 6600 and am enjoying it. My 440QE Bernina is a wonderful machine but the harp on the Janome is the so much better with the extra space. Price was much lower also-with scissors and even feed foot plus other features the Bernina doesn't have.
I haven't tried FMQ on the Janome yet.
