I have both, but there is more potential in the scanncut than the sizzix or accuquilt. I have a sizzix big shot and hardly touch it. Now that I have scanncut for piecing and applique I don't really see the need for sizzix as I don't use it for strips. I do have a rag quilt die for my sizzix big shot I will use somewhere down the line. My sizzix has been a dust collector, luckily I used gift cards to get it
