Well considering that you don't run it 24/7 and really for only a few hours at a time I don't think that it should be to bad.
The biggest consideration I would think for someone looking at running one of these puppies is how well your home is wired. Startups draw a big load so you might have to run an extension cord to a different wall socket.
I am pretty lucky here where I live and ran the Cascade on one socket, while I still had another SS Phase, my main rig and the benching rig plus a bunch of other stuff with no problems. This means I should be good to go for a 3 stager LOL.
The house I lived in before and grew up in is much older and could not have done this with out getting new lines wired in.
Other considerations is noise, this unit is not bad at all while running, it is some what loud but not nearly as bad as some others I have heard. Rottary compressers are way to loud for me, plus its a higher pitched sound, I could not handle one of those for very long. My family is pretty understanding about all this and never complained one bit while i ran the unit.
Last is heat output. I have a rather large room I bench in so it was not a problem at all, I never did notice any real heat coming out of the unit while benching. Now my Jinu SS Phase when installed on my main rig was not only noisy but had a lot of heat coming out if it.
Running in a smaller room you might notice the heat and noise more tho.
Condensation was never an issue for me, it never frooze over or had ice forming anywhere. I am lucky where I live
Kal will notice that I wrap the Evap enclosure with a layer of Armaflex becuase when I first ran the Jinu SS Phase on the main rig it would for water dops around the enclosure so one layer of tape fixed all that. I don't know how bad it is where Kal lives but he may need to put another layer on. Good prep work is key to get a nice tight seal.
I do it just like this for everything.

This unit has been a real pleasure to run and it will be missed a great deal :(
Now I have to get moving and build another
But I have a few surprises that I want to work on for something a little different, all in good time
