I guess it depends on your definition of "experience".
I can't really comment on either the sit-down machines or the domestic machines, but I have to say I really LOVE using my templates and rulers on my longarm!!
If you are using a longarm, PLEASE be certain you also get the ruler "base". This extends the footprint of your machine and gives the templates much more room to "sit" without wobbling. If you don't have the base, there is a much greater chance of the template slipping underneath your hopping foot, which means it will slide under the needle, probably causing the needle to break, and very probably getting your machine out of time.
Regardless of which machine you have, templates will take longer to create the effect(s) you are striving for - but, oh it is SO worth it!!
Good luck on your journey in this area of our art!!
