I would go with a store that is going to provide training and support for whichever serger you select. It's not like a sewing machine, they are not all threaded alike. They do not all sew alike. Some have differential feed, some don't. Some have self ajusting tesion, some don't. Some come with a one year warranty, others with just 90 days.

Trying to learn the serger with no support or training would be like trying to climb a mountain when you've been training for a spelling bee.
