If you have worked with relational databases in general, and/or with
persistence frameworks like Hibernate, you will likely have no problem
picking it up. I say that because I found Core Data straightforward,
but I have also done a bunch of work with relational databases on
other platforms.
I recommend Marcus Zarra's "Core Data: Apple's API for Persisting Data
on Mac OS X" book:

Based on your description of the application, I would lean towards
using Core Data. The volume of data doesn't necessarily *require* a
database back end, but you would basically be giving up a lot of
near-free scalability by not just using Core Data with SQLite.
