The main question is how much do you really think you will use it.
I got a similar deal with mine a couple of years ago. Paid less than $50 for it and don't remember the service cost - just because I wanted it cleaned and serviced. Also took a general serger class for around $20/session - only took a couple but got very valuable info in the class and the books alone that were given out were worth the class fees. I don't use it much - and didn't anticipate I would which is why I went the route I did and am happy I did so. Not a lot of $$ invested in something I wasn't sure about but am glad I have.
