I have the Sunshine and am very happy with it, I've made dozens of quilts, and only sent out 2 for long arm quilting. Before I purchased my Sunshine, I did all my quilts on my Viking domestic, and with every quilt dreamed of having more throat space someday. With each quilt I was getting lots of practice that made using the Sunshine that much easier once I purchased it.
The Sunshine is less expensive than the Sweet 16 or a long arm set up, so I don't feel as bad about it sitting idle when I'm not able to quilt as I'm sure I would feel if I'd have gotten a full long arm setup.
Another thought - if you think you may do work for others to make a bit extra $$$ there is much more to consider.... Enjoy your quilting and whatever setup you end up with, I'll be watching to see how it goes!
