Quick feedback please Janome 740 eXcellance

You are going to love the large throat space! I had a 7700, now have a 8900, they are virtually identical, one is just an update. I'd say you got a great deal! I don't know about financing in Japan, but I have done the financing through Janome for so many of my machines! Makes it much less painful!

Thank you very much Bubba for looking all that up for me. Very kind of you. I could read it and check on my iPhone at fair. I am worried it had so many stitches and feet, but I presume I will get used to it. ! I also tried out the Sweet 16 wow. That was fun, but about 3,5000 dollars so too much, and too big my husband pointed out. ( guess once this one is paid off I can start to save for it- kids may have moved out by then and I can use one of their rooms :)

Is it the Janome that has the computerized screen and then what looks like a big dial underneath? If so, I'd say what you were told is a most excellent price. That is the machine I was going to get and in town it was $2700.
