I bought a 66 redeye a few months ago. I was looking specifically for a 66 to fit into the restored cabinet of my g'grandmother. I, too, have about zilch for storage but since I'm definitely keeping the cabinet, well, why not have a usable machine in it! I had previously gotten a 99 in a cabinet that I'll now be getting rid of due to the lack of space. I wasn't wedded to the idea of a redeye - just the 66 so for me it was a pretty bonus. In your case, a portable doesn't take up too much room, so why not?
