My back does not hurt when I stand there and cut now. Hopefully after your surgery you'll be back to normal.
I have not tried a Accuquilt Go. The dies are so expensive and since I never repete a pattern I just can't justify the expense If I had someone to share dies with, maybe I would. Hopefully the price will come down one day when the new wears off!
I doubt the prices will go down..I have been buying dies for about 10 years and the GO dies are cheaper than most...of course they do not last as long either, so they are often being replaced...more costly in the long term, IF you are going to repeat those dies.
