Anyone use the Janome Sewist 500 machine?

I'm interested in this new model of Janome but can't find any reviews of it anywhere (there was 1 thread in this forum but a while back). Does anyone own this or know anything about it?

I am of the opinion that any machine janome makes is going to be good, and if it has the features and price you are looking for, i imagine you will love it.
That model is also available through Sears, with the Kenmore name on it, though it is made by Janome. They also have some other machines in a comparable price range, i believe, with more stitch functions.
