With that being said, generally for off-seasons it doesn't cost too much to add the electronics in. You have to pay to ship the field anyways, so really your only extra costs are paying the travel expenses for an FTA to come to your event (which isn't a requirement but a courtesy that should be extended). Trust me when I say, full electronics or not, if you can get an FTA to volunteer for your event, things will run a lot smoother.
At ours we had an FTA, who is still available for this year, and we transported the field ourselves. However, last year when we got the FIRST California field they offered electronics if we paid insurance on them which was very expensive. After we declined to take the electronics and just use the field with FMS Lite, they told us that the electronics were being sent back to New Hampshire. I don't know how the field logistics will be sorted out this year.
