as to the non-AF/DF quarter-inch feet, look online for the O2 foot.
you can barely see the physical difference between the O and the O2, but they don't perform equally.
the O2 handles bulky seams much more easily than does the O.
the O2 also has the guide and can be found online for under $15US.
For me it's more that I don't have a dealership I necessarily trust. I probably wouldn't go beyond the 6700 under any circumstance, since my hobby doesn't warrant the expense, LOL. But if Costco sold the 6700, it would be a no-brainer.
I might try the O2 foot. I really liked my clear foot on the Pfaff, but maybe I just won't be able to find a clear foot solution on the Janome.
Maybe the bottom line is to accept my Janome with its flaws or go back to my Pfaff.
