How hard was installation? Was it worth paying $95 to have a pro install or is it easy enough to set it up myself?

Installation is very do-able on your own, but I used this helpful article which included video walkthrough, tips and step-by-step instructions: www.reviewsbylance.com/concept2-setup In my opinion, most people won't need help, it shouldn't take you more than 15-20min, but might take longer if you're not used to putting things together, etc. The article I mentioned also had a lot of helpful advice on whether to get a mat or not and which ones work best w/ the Concept2 rower (it's length makes it a bit too long for several of the popular exercise mats) as that was something I wasn't sure I wanted to have under the rower or not before putting it together. Honestly, instead of paying for a pro to install, I would do it yourself as it's not like trying to install a treadmill. There are a few parts of the installation that could be confusing if you're just trying to use the included instructions, but you can check the walkthrough in the article and you'll definitely be able to tell if it looks like something you could do on your own or not. Hope that helps!

Will this be big enough for someone who is 6' 5""? Also is there an advantage to the model E?

I am 6'5" (with a 36" inseam) and this is the machine I prefer. I use the Model D and Model E at my local YMCA (Which is why I am here looking to buy one). If you need a more exact answer; according to Concept2 themselves, the default monorail is made for users who have a 38" or shorter inseam. If your inseam is longer than 38" you should purchase the extended rail available through Concept2. The only difference between the Model D and Model E is the height off of the ground, and the adjustability of the arm that holds the Performance Monitor (computer). The rail is identical.

How easy was set-up? Would you recommend professional installation?

Very easy to set up, only 8 screws and screw driver comes with it. Save your money and do it yourself, only takes 15 to 20 minutes including unpacking it.

How long does is take to fold up? According to the product photos above they had time to install a second window on the far wall?...

30 seconds, maybe. It's hard to conceptualize until you actually do it, but it is super simple: pull up the lock, pull the middle up by a foot strap, and it separates.
