I will never consider one no matter what the price. I had a quilting business before there were Long arms. My machine was an industrial and so were the sliding frames. I charged enough to discourage quilters because I was overwhelmed with business. I could do three quilts per day and for years I worked at this pace. The pressure to get them done and out became worse as time progressed. When I counted the undone quilts one day I found I was more than three months behind, I decided that was enough. This machine and frames costs a whole five hundred. A lot of money back then.
