I have the 9400 & absolutely love it. I will never outgrow it. It is so user friendly. Comes with a knee lift (I think that is what it is called). I got mine for half price & no fiance fees which is how I was able to buy mine. Love all that extra throat space, the pull out lighting, automatic start without having to lower your needle or presser foot & the push button lock in button (no more reverse). I hope you give this dream machine a look.
