In case you're not aware, you'll need an adapter. Spain has the same voltage and frequency as the UK. However, the wall socket configuration is different.

 Even if lost or damaged luggage would be a rarity, I still would not want to take the chance. I don't know the danger of missing one or two nights, and I don't want to find out or ruin my vacation by feeling lousy.
Except, you keep basing your assumption that when traveling, should your machine get lost or damaged, one quick call to the insurance and you'll have your replacement machine within the hour.

It just doesn't work that way.
My point is that if you take it as carry-on, you reduce the risk of it being last or mishandled. The risk is not zero, of course, but it's fairly low.

I that the best you could do, explaining your point, after two years?
