I have a medium ALICE pack w/o the frame. Is there any advantage to buying a frame for it?

Only if you want to be more comfortable.

The frame gives your ruck more support and rides better on your shoulders and hips.  A heavier load will be more comfortable to carry.  It also gives a space between the ruck and your back so you get some cooling effect.  You will need to get the kidney (waist) pad belt for it also.
