Welcome from coastal California!!! I have looked at that set-up in the past and seriously considered it! I got a better computerized machine instead, (replacing my 21 yr old Pfaff which was a workhorse that works great and never had to be fixed, I just wanted my options of stitches) . In a couple of years (hopefully sooner) I want to get a mid - long arm machine and frame. My thing is space as well!!
