I would hardly even call it more effort. It takes like 2 minutes to load the band saw you already own into the trailer you already rented for the drive you were already going to do and then like 2 more minutes to unload it. And when you compare the cost of that (Let's say 100 bucks to include in a few bandsaw blades) to the cost of a trailer shop ($1,000s to $10,000s) it's not even debatable which model is more practical and sustainable.
