What sewing machine do you recommend?

I have a 37 year old Brother, which is sturdy and works well, but has limited stitches.
I recently treated myself to a Janome with many more stitch patterns. I avoided the computerised machines, as they are more complex with more things to go wrong.
I bought my Janome from John Lewis when they had it on a reduced offer.

My current machine is a Brother. Very happy with it.
Is there a sewing machine shop you can visit that has several different makes and models. You can then try out some to see what is best for you.

Mine is a Brother, I bought it off of a Facebook site for £25 and it looked unused. You can often get good second hand ones as people buy new then never use them.

Mine is a Janome, basic but reliable. I have returned to dressmaking (last done aged around 16!) This weekend I am taking myself, said machine and a variety of materials to a workshop on how to use it. The machine is around 8 years old but rarely used. I seem to remember it was bought from John Lewis, but whoever sold it to me was extremely helpful at the time.
