I originally got the Brother SE400. The Brother has a far superior feature set and the price is half of this machine. However, the quality of stitching was so poor, especially on smaller designs, that the Brother was returned and I purchased the Janome 300e. I haven't looked back.
Sure I miss the USB and some of the features, such as the auto cut, but I don't miss the broken needles, the birdnests or the unit eating my material. Simply put, the Janome works and works great. After 500k stitches, I have had no issues at all.
It would be nice if Janome came out with another consumer-based embroidery machine that has USB and autocut (under $1000, that is). Until then, you cannot go wrong with the 300e.
Pros
Great stitching, even down to .5" lettering
Quality built
No issues after 500k stitches
Cons
No USB (c'mon it has a PC Card? Are you kidding me?)
Price is sharply higher than the Brother
