not sure how you missed all of MY talks on these machines, but if you PM me I can give the scoop from first hand experience!
I see most of MY comments were made on a classified thread called ISO: Accuquilt GO....or for sale, accuquilt go baby( as I have one for sale)
and for more info you can always check them out at

I have been using Ellison/Sizzix cutters and dies for quilting for over 10 years now! They have been in the biz for nearly 30+ years!
Remember the school and church bulletin boards and all those letters and shapes, cut on Ellison machines...they are still the world's #1 company in schools and churches...
you will never find a big shot pro for $100 that is less 1/2 of my wholesale cost! The big shot pro is the accuquilt equivalent to the studio for less than 1/2 the cost with 10 times the versatility due to the fact you can use ALL makers dies on them!
I cuts with the greatest of ease using only 1 hand, no need to use your other hand to hold it steady like the GO cutter!
I could go on and on, but let me know how much of the real facts you want!
PS, I use mine to cut everything from paper, to metal, to ultrasuede...
