torn between hardwired and portable ems system

[Ron & Izzy]

as i'm doing my research and due diligence.. and not knowing electrical, i'm wondering if i should just go ahead and get the portable PI 50x. I do woodworking.. this said i've always shy'ed away from the electrical installs.

i do see that there is a security collar whcih can be used using a short braided cable.. so i'm not too worried about theft for the portable unit.

so.. just wondering how hard the hardwire install really is.. i would rather not get in the middle of the project and not be able to continue.

thoughts?
