I have a Bernina frame manufactured by Grace. It's metal - wish I had purchased wood - it would be lighter. I use it with a regular size machine. At first I was afraid of it but once I got it going I found I really enjoy it. My family thinks my quilting - mostly meander - is wonderful and I'm not going to tell them otherwise!!!
You can always sell your set up if you don't like it. But I think once you get it you will be addicted.
