I'm in the "Go for it!" camp. You've thought this through. I re-read your original post and didn't see you mention starting a business or quilting for others to offset the expense which many addressed. I think it's just what you want to do. And you should! Two years ago I upgraded to a DSM with a large harp so I can quilt larger quilts. My DH had to practically force me to buy a Koala cabinet with lots of bells and whistles. (How could I pay twice the cost of the sewing machine for Furniture?) So happy I did. Do what's right for you
