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.
