Do not underestimate the value of a local dealer for support, training and maintenance. A LA is a huge investment and it may just be worth a few hundred dollars more to get the support of a local dealer and a professional installation. I am sure they are great if nothing goes wrong, but what will you do if something does? You very well could be left out to dry and have to deal with the manufacturer on your own.
A LA is very different from a DSM and I can't imagine spending that much on a set up with at least a bit of training to make sure I am threading it correctly that the timing didn't get knocked out of whack in shipping, make sure you have the bobbin seated correctly, show you how to troubleshoot and adjust tension, etc. JMHO. I would never have considered getting my Innova without the support of a local dealer.
