i'd try it out. brought one of mine yrs ago into a shop. they had it for 8 weeks. I guess they needed a machine to sew on and used mine. anyway, got it back and it didn't work. had to go back again. and, get this, they wanted to chg me for it again. so the fixed it, I tried it out, and left. the repair was over $200. It actually went in for a cleaning. I'd try it out for sure.
