A friend of mine has it and loves it. She won't cut anything without it. Yes, you do need to room to be able to use it but seems well worth it. I wanted to get one as well - we both saw it at the Lancaster show a couple of years ago - but was just too cheap at the time. I'm usually okay with cutting yardage but if I had tons of strips or squares to cut I'd be running over to her house in a heartbeat!
