Stefen, that is a very sweet deal-- I have been tempted by it myself. Most people don't like big C-kites, but I have always liked them. The Machine 20.5 is one of the best out there. Compared to 16 bow kites, the 20m C's are heavy, feel a bit slow, take more effort to pump, require a 5th line to relaunch, and are more likely to fall from the sky in the lightest lulls (because of weight). On the plus side, they jump and float very well from 10-20mph.
You will probably never be able to sell it, but if you want a good deal on a powerful light wind kite, the 20.5 Machine is a very nice C-kite.
