Will it be worth it?

What resources are you worried about?
Size-on-disk you can predict easily.
For memory and cpu it is harder. You could say that there is always a balance: If you make a small app, you can probably do a better job to code everything yourself. Any framework will give you overhead. But the bigger it gets, the harder it gets to write good code yourself. A framework will help you, and in the end you will be better off using a framework just because of the better your code will be (assuming you use it correctly).
So it is a really hard question to answer, without specifics. Gut feeling does tell me you would not go too wrong by starting with Zend. I’ve seen a couple of smaller, not-to-high-end environments using Zend with success.
