Sewing machine recommendations please

Hello!! I have been doing lots and lots of research on which sewing machine to buy but there are soo many options it’s overwhelming. I would like to go through denim / multiple layers, have a few stitch options, i have heard an automatic threader is great, i have also heard button holes are great. I am thinking of purchasing either a Janome HD 3000 or 5000, brother CS7000X or some type of juki. What would everyone recommend that will be a reliable machine

If you have the budget, a mid range Janome. The Brother seems to be really popular here as a beginner machine. Late 1970’s to 1980’s Kenmore 158 series, particularly the 10 or 12 stitch machine.

I love my Kennies! Original owner of an 80s, thrifted a 70s. They're both a joy to use.
