I have not used the Accuquilt, but have used the Alto's Quilt Cut 2 for over 5 years. I cut 6 layers at a time, accurately, and have no need for dies or templates. The only thing it will not do is circular shapes. For a little over $200 dollars, a lifetime warranty,13 angles available for cutting,and a video that gives you an in-house teacher at any hours of the day or night, how can you lose? I have also known people with disabilities (wheelchair, arthritis. blind,etc.) who learned to use the system - which extended their quilting life for decades.
