Wow, if I didn't have one already I'd be up for a deal here.
Shedhand I feel for you having to let it go.
They will have to pry mine from my cold dead hands.

Tables
Rob, I recently went through exactly the same quandary you have: mortiser or Domino? I needed to make a table (quite large). I have only a small workshop and want to conserve space. I took the plunge and bought the Domino figuring that if it was'nt good enough I could always buy a mortiser later.
The table (dining) has a 2200x900x50 slab top and I am making a conventional frame underneath (leg at each corner) with 50x104 a apron, I hate rails etc near the floor that get in the way of your knees and feet. I am using four 10x50 dominos at each joint without the extra width of mortice (tight fit). I am fairly confident it will be strong enough, I know its breaking new ground but technology is moving forward and I am going with it! The domino and its mortise provide a perfect and intimate fit which I'm banking on having an advantage over traditional mortice and tenons. There is a lot of science in the use of multiple tenons (Dominos in this case) over a large single tenon.
Anyway, at this stage I have cut all the mortices (32) in the aprons which took about 20 minutes, legs tomorrow. I will let you know if the table is rigid enough or if I break a leg off carrying it through a dooway.

Interesting to hear of some body in the the exact same situation. Thanks for your message and will look forward to hearing how your table goes.
Cheers
Rob
And also thanks to every one who has given their valuable advice - it is much appreciated . I have taken the plunge and I'm waiting for a delivery from Tassie having agreed to buy a "previously owned " Domi from a contributer on this forum.
