I can't think of any cons. I use the MorRyde ones on my travel trailer and the suspension has ZERO noise now. I grease mine once a year. If you don't think you will actually get out and grease them annually, then I might suggest not to do it.
Nice sized workshop.
Ever think about making a custom table with laminate on top of it so it matches the height of your sewing machine table?
I don't see a light on your sewing machine. I have one of these and it's awesom especially when threading the needle...
That would be correct....or you could roll the dice.
Just drain into a clean container and put it back in...plus whatever additional you may have to put in.

Servo motors are cheap. I may buy another one that includes a positioner that allows you to tap the pedal and it moves the needle up out of the way or all the way down instead of having to use the handwheel.
Also look at Juki 1541 (with or without the S) or the Seiko STH-8BLD3
This is the machine I have and this is actually near me. Bet you can get it way less than $900...
Also, if you just doing upholstery and not boat covers, the larger bobbin of the 206RB isn't as big an issue although I do use a 226 with it's smaller bobbin on my 226, I just prefill a lot of bobbins before I start my project.
