I am really confused why someone would want to do this as opposed to buying one initially......
My take is that for some cases, the owner was using a mid-arm machine, but grew to feel the limitations of the smaller throat. Hence requiring the upgrade. At $2000, it is still cheaper than buying a new 18" long arm machine.
Just my take.. I have neither a mid arm nor long arm.
