Personally if you can afford it - I would jump. A deal like that doesn't come along very often. I realize it is a used machine - but there is used and then there is USED. I like buying a used machine from someone I know as I also know how they take care of their equipment. If you take care of it they will normally go a long way and 1 year used by someone who knows what they are doing and has taken care of the machine is nothing.
