This would be dependent on your answer to :What do you plan to do with it?

I just bought the Janome MC 6600 and I love it!! Only embroidery is lettering, but I'm not much on that anyway (and my mom has a really nice embroidery machine if I need it...lol) Machine was 1400...use the rest for a nice table and fabric!! :)

My Husqvarna,/Viking 630 is one of the reasons for my above opinion. I bought it in the '80's, because I wore out my Singer, the plastic in it mainly. I asked the guy if he had anything that didn't have all the plastic in it, and he sold me the Viking, new. Back then it was $800.
I discovered just yesterday it has a dial for the pressure on the presser footI knew that), and it has a little darning symbol, appropriate for free motion quilting. It also has a button for full or half speed, and when using the tension in the darning setting, it automatically goes to half speed. One less thing to think about while I learn free motion quilting

I agree 100%. For $2000 you can buy a slightly used Bernina that will sew beautiful seams, quilt with beautiflful stitches and embroidery with beautiful stitches. If you have not bought a machine yet, I have a slightly used Bernina Artistic 180 with all the reference manuals you will need. It will be your dream machine the rest of your life. I will sell it for $1,800, which will leave enough money to buy additional pressure feet designed for anything you wish to sew.
