On the continent most dealers still sell the Skyline/Atelier S5.

Must say I like the large display with easy interface of the S6 a lot and it has the acufeed flex system: https://www.thesewingstudio.co.uk/janome-atelier-6-sewing-machine.ir

For sewists who like more computerised SM the S7 offers a lot more of course.

If you do any free-motion quilting or embroidery, you’d want to be sure the feed dogs can be lowered.
You can't scare me. I taught high school for 32 years.

Thanks, @Sara-S .  New machine is on hold at the moment.  I have done a workshop on free motion embroidery and it’s something that I’d like to do more of.
