Dh got a me a Janome 644D. Not sure the price and not sure I want to know. Still going well after 11 years of sporadic use (so long periods of quiet, followed by monster sewing sessions)
He got it from Statewide and I got a free sewing lesson on how to use it (so well worth it). I liked that he got it from there, as I could always walk in, say what I was sewing and they would know what needles to sell me. They would also answer any other queries (very sad to not have a centre like that down where I am now).

As for features?? A rolled hem is super handy.
