grammy of 6-I have a couple of the June Tailor Shape Cuts, with slots every 1/2", which I absolutely love, my go to ruler. I also have the 2 1/2" slots, which I have never used. I would say it would depend on the sizes you use the most often.

Accuquilt has a large die cutter "studio die cutter" on sale now with $200.00 off. I have one and I love it, you can cut 10 layers at a time and fold over at the ends and cut strips as long as 110".. I have the 1' 1 1/2", 2 1/2", 3 1/2", 4 1/2", and the 6 1/2" strip dies.. I did not buy the 5 1/2" because it only cut 2 strips wide and I know the die is wide enough to cut 3 strips wide so until they modify it I will not pay that kind of money for just 2 strips wide.. now the 6 1/12" strip die is only 2 strips wide but that is understandable.. they also have many other dies for everything you can think of. I do not like the GO die cutter because it is to small to cut large pieces and strips and the plastic overlay is not the same as the Studio die cutter overlay is .. I have never had to buy extra overlay ( goes over the fabric to hold it in place and keep the die cutter blade from cutting the roller) since I bought the die cutter 9 years ago, every one is still working great no matter how many times I have used it to cut fabric.. go to "AccuQuilt.com" and take a look.. you will love it..

The nice thing about the June Tailor is you can cut several strips without having to move your fabric. The Stripology looks great and has grip strips along each strip, it well marked to cut multiples, but is very expensive. I used permanent marker to make cutting multiple strips along instead of having to do math in my head each time. I put grip strips on my June Tailor and it doesn't move.
