My daughter went into LA several years ago. First she rewired her room as the quilt needed a 'dedicated' outlet. Then the fun of trying to get it into the house, even though it came in pieces. It helps a lot if you are mechanically inclined to take of the day to day cleaning, oiling. It cannot be in a damp area as it will mess up the computer. Service calls are very expensive and usually the repair person lives in another state. You, indeed, can get a lot of quilts longarmed for the price ($20K and up). Give it to the longarmer and get to doing what you like best....creating another quilt.
