I like my GO. I can cut strips in a fraction of the time. What you get depends on what you do the most; strips or shapes.

I probably won't do a lot of strips, I'm more interested in small squares, the tumbler blocks, diamonds, and HST's. I am looking at a quilt pattern that has lots...and lots of 2 1/2" squares, and I just don't have the time to dedicate to cut so many squares.
You can use the 2 1/2 strip cutter to make cutting the squares easier and faster. I use alot of different ones; it came with a variety of different sizes and it was great to finally take all those "scraps" and cut them into squares. One afternoon and I really accomplished alot. Now when I do CW or anything w/the size block I need they are in the tote ready to sew. I like making rag quilts for babies and use the animal ones to applique on the back of the quilts to make them 2 sided; something for baby to look at or play with. I have the Go and love it. Accuquilt is great at standing by their product and if you have any problems you can call/email them and they'll get right back to you. There is no more waste than w/anything else. You do need to watch your grain line so that they come out the right size but other than that; piece of cake
