Some things to consider - (if you have not already done so)
How much space to you have available?
How much space are you willing to use for the machine - you also have to allow "working room" for the operator.
Most of them are space hogs - and in my opinion - not all that attractive.
I wonder how many people have let them turn into a "collection spot" - like some exercise equipment has become a clothes rack.
How much are you willing to spend on one? Can you afford "what you really want" or will you need to downgrade to what you can - more or less - easily afford?
Do any other people have input (as to how much space you can use - how much you can spend - etc) on this acquisition?
Will you feel guilty if you only work on your own things? I understand that there is a learning curve for most people.
Would you want to do work for other people? I think it would be quite all right to say "no" if you have no interest in doing so.
How many quilts to you think you might quilt on this?
As others have said - do you want one because "everyone else" seems to have one - or because you would really use one.
