Before you buy a new one, check your local (and surrounding within driving distance areas) for a used frame. You can usually pick one up fairly cheap if you wait a bit. I wish I had waited to get one used...
I think that would be a great frame but it's really pretty costly imo. You would be able to use it with a bigger machine which chances are you would end up getting after seeing what you can and can not do with a 9" throat.
I live in an area that I didn't think I'd see too many quilting machines come up on Craigslist and I have seen quite a few in the last year alone. I'd keep an eye on the boards, join the Home Quilting Systems yahoogroup (people list their machines & frames fairly often as well) Just don't rush in to a big hefty purchase
