I've been investigating various sewing machines for a new purchase. I

The New Home has 99 stitches vs Kenmore's 81. New Home has an
automatically adjusting tension vs Kenmore's manual. They're both manufactured by the Janome Sewing Machine Company.
The New Home Price is $1120, the Kenmore price is $900...plus it's on
sale this weekend at 10% or 15% off (the sales person wasn't sure which). That's a whopping $310 to $355 difference. I guess I'm having a problem justifying the New Home over the Kenmore.
Does anyone out here in quilting land have any experience or knowledge of the Kenmore 1505?
