I got the Sweet 16 and I paid a little over $5k but it included the TruStitch, California taxes and shipping. I'd haggle some more. The Tiara, from what I hear doesn't have the height issue between the table and the machine. (DH raised my table so it isn't an issue for me either.)
QuiltE, I got mine for the same reason - space issues. This machine is wonderful. We added some IKEA cabinets on one end and DH modified an IKEA fold-up table on the other side for extra table space. I love the setup and it takes up so little space.
