What do you think?

It's a very good price if you think you'll be happy with it. I had the same set-up and it worked well for awhile. After about a year I was frustrated with the small quilting area -- at the end of a larger quilt I was lucky to have 5" of space, and that limits the patterns you can use. If you think you might outgrow it in a short time, I would suggest that you put the money aside and wait for a good deal on a mid-arm. I don't see myself outgrowing my HQ for a very long time.
