You can find package deals as well ( frame plus machine). l'd advise you to get as large as you can afford, but keep bells/whistles to minimum...not in business of quilting, you may not need computorized gizmos
I too, have the Bailey Pro 15. It was originally on a frame it now sits in a table. I find it easier to sit down and quilt as opposed to standing up. I don't have to worry about running out of throat space as I get further along in the quilting process. My stitch regulator is my foot......
I glued a piece of wood to my foot peddle so I don't go to fast or to slow.
