I love the commercial machines, have several vintage machines both commercial and home. I would say go for it, if you need to slow it down there is a motor that can be purchased for about $200 that will help control it from 1 stitch to full out speed. Just got one for my walking foot Singer 111W and love it! I do make a lot of different things so I like having a choice and not breaking any more of my other machines because I am doing too heavy of work. Go try it and see!
