I agree with Lisa - it is not at all easy to disassemble and reassemble at will. You really do need a dedicated space for a longarm.

I don't necessarily agree with this statement. This might be true if you have robotics. I do not. My machine isn't always level and it has never been a problem for me. I do mostly FMQ and pantos. I do have hydraulics to raise and lower the frame, and casters on the feet so I can move it out from the wall and get behind it to work with pantos, and I can tell when it's not level because the head moves on its own. But because I am entirely hand-guided, leveling isn't an issue for me. I have an Innova on their really sturdy, tight frame, it doesn't warp or twist out of square at all.
