I would strongly suggest calling all the Janome dealers in town and try to get a NEW machine for $1100. They have really reduced the price since the Horizon's debut. Do you think you'll actually use the extra feet? I know I don't use much more than the 1/4" foot and the walking foot. Have you checked for a used Bernina? I used to own the Janome 6600, and sold it after trying the Bernina. I bought my Bernina used, and have had no problems with it. Good luck, whatever choice you make.

Janome or Pfaff

The 6600 is a wonderful machine and does so much. I am not familiar with the Pfaff. I would recommend that you try a pfaff before buying. I can vouch for the janome being easy to use and very reliable. I have had janome's for the last 25 years. good luck!

I have two Pfaff machines. One is over 40 years old and still runs beautifully. My newer one, the 2170 is wonderful also. Go for the Pfaff and you won't be sorry.

I think the Janome is way overpriced. I bought mine used (barely) for $800.00. I know I got a bargain, but I love the machine and would recommend it. I don't know much about the Pfaff. I would keep looking, sometimes the dealers have trade in they sell for a good price, also check EBay. You can definitely get a better price.

The one yr. old Pfaff would be the better deal. The Janome seems overpriced for 5 yrs. old.

Check prices at local dealers for used machines and/or new. You can also check "completed sales" on eBay for what these may be selling for. Also check eBay for "for sale" prices. Don't be in a hurry to part with hard earned money.

I would go for the Janome as well. That is a good price for it. But the machine runs well without any problems. I had one for 3 years before i went to the Horizon just last month!
