Having both sizes of the Go is like having two sizes of a cutting mat, I don't see any reason not to have both. The die cost will equal out to pennies after many times of using them so I don't think of the one time cost. The product is well made and customer service is very good from all authorized dealers. I order from I Have a Notion and Bayside Quilting and AccucutQuilt website.
I have the AccuQuilt Go...
I also have a brain injury and this item has allowed me to do cutting that I can't do with rotary cutter because of brain. It literally has opened the door to the world of quilting for me.
I have about 15-dies also...love the strip cutters.
Have very little fabric waste because I have learned to gauge best sizes of fabrics to cut for die and if there are pieces that will fit another die they go into a separate pile and are all cut and boxed and labeled.
I got a super deal on everything because I went up on Ebay and contacted one of the dealers selling there and told them exactly what I wanted with all the extras and what would / could they do for me price wise...worst thing they can say is no.
Spent about $400. for machine/several mats and all the dies/there was even a book with patterns.
No regrets :)
