Location really doesn't matter as much as some think, especially if you leverage things like CloudFlare.
We seem to be pressed for time, so I'll skip straight to the advice with little explanation:
75% is a bargain, and it seems funds may matter to you. So, for that, I'd strongly consider doing it.
Just be aware that Tyler (founder and owner of Stablehost) sold to EU company MissHosting probably 6 months ago. He moved on, but all other employees of Stablehost remained. However, it could be assumed that the Stockholm location is more MissHosting than Stablehost. Because that was a MissHosting location. The founder/CEO is not somebody I necessarily adore, somewhat checkered past, but the outlook on hosting is somewhat ideal. They use locals for support. That means that the Stockholm location probably won't be supported by familiar names from Phoenix. Something else to consider.
There are some unknowns about Stablehost.com these days, so I've not been overly endorsing them at this time.
Some of my most important personal sites at at Stablehost, so it does make me slightly nervous. I watch closely these days. I saw funny stuff months before the sellout was announced, especially the sudden unannounced closure of PingThat. I don't like it when unannounced things happen!
