I use the Accufeed almost all the time, even for non-quilting projects. I do miss the free arm, but I have a little Janome Gem I keep on the side for when I really need the free arm and also for when my 6600 is getting his annual service. I've had him (Edward) for 3 years now and still love it.
My mouth is watering over the 7700, but my husband would never understand and besides that, I wouldn't want Edward to feel left out.

As for the White, the part they need is still on back order, the other day I saw a White serger, w/video, for sale at a gr sale.
Sures looked like the one I traded in about 4 years ago.
I would never buy another White machine.

Lol, my first machine was a White and I had it for 20 years. It was just a basic machine, and was really a workhorse (long before computers, I think the wheel had barely been invented). When that died I bought another White, and it was okay for about 10 years. Then I caught the quilting bug and bought the White Quilting machine w/video and it was a piece o' crap. I'll never buy another White either. They just aren't made the way they used to be. I love my 6600, and keep wondering what the big hubbub is about the Bernina's. I'm afraid to try one out, because I might like it.

I have the 6600 and love it!! Just bought it last year... can't really say much about the 6500. I bought the highest end machine for the money I had. Buy the best you can within your budget. There are always going to be other things you want, but most of probably couldn't afford a machine that did everything we wanted!

I own a Janome AND a Bernina. Love both for different reasons. You will get more for your buying dollar with a Janome and the Bernina remains to be the best made, quality machine (not plastic) on the market. You'll be very happy with your Janome.
