I've been thinking about it, the main issue is how to get it shipped to my country in a way that I don't end up paying about 4 times the cost of an already expensive machine.

That is fair. They are definitely more than a typical laptop.

Yeah, but it feels like they're mostly worth it. Like, if there was ever a reason to get into the world of international smuggling, those machines would be The good justification.
