I'm a Martelli fan also. Go to Martelli catalog.com & sign up for their Redline Direct Sale notice. There's a sale about 4 times a yr with a few different items each time. Had my eye on these for a little while & finally got it this summer at 50% off sale. Also got the cutter on a diff sale & love them both. 2 of 3 quilt shops around me have them for cutting & they both highly recommend them.
