I know of one couple who went to Salt Lake City, Utah for 2 HQ machines. They bought a Fusion and an Avante. They have two homes as they are 'snowbirds' who live in the Southern US in winter. They wanted a machine in each home. So before they went to SLC they arranged for her to take the HQ University classes while he learned how the machine was made and how to do the maintenance. They had a trailer for towing the machines to their homes. They were clam happy for what they did.
It is an alternative. They had a vacation and learned all at once.
