Hi, looking about again today at the nec and have decided to wait to get a long arm and frame until next year at least. I am airing in the side of the k& k 's 26" as its a English firm, made in Norfolk they not too pretty to look at but no import to pay and the company is a family one that pride them selves on service. But a year its a long time so I could Change my mind lol good luck in your adventures with your new machine and post a picture
Regards
Stella
