Due to our work volume we used to have 3 cryostats, so there was always a "backup". Your decision on this subject should rest on your work volume. If it is not that heavy what you can always do is to coordinate with a near by lab to use theirs in an emergency. Nowadays cryostats are very reliable and very expensive so this is an investment to ponder cautiously. René J.
