Default Has anyone ever changed a Q-Snap Floor Frame to be more like the Ulmer frame?

Strange question from me, which seems to be my usual.

Right now I have the Q-Snap Floor Frame, which you can see here:

It's a pretty big frame, and I have limited space. And I also am very short, so reaching around that big frame is a bit challenging.

I recently discovered the Ulmer frame, which you can see here:

I like the fact that the Ulmer is so much narrower than the Q-Snap. Working on a smaller area, I think, would be easier for my short arms.

I'm wondering if there's any way to change the Q-Snap to the narrower version, maybe by cutting the PVC pipe? If anyone has tried that, can you tell me how it worked?

I know the Q-Snap will never have the "foldability" of the Ulmer frame. Maybe I should just go ahead and sell the Q-Snap and buy the Ulmer.
