I see you are close to me, I live just south of you on theborder in Pa. I go to Pocono Sew n Vac in Stroudsburg for my machines. I have three Janomes and love them all. They have a big assortment of machiines and would let you try all of them out. So many features you really need to sew on them and get what works best for you. They are very friendly and compatent about there products. Good luck in what ever you choose
