I have the Studio and use it regularily for cutting strips as I do jelly roll type cutting.
I recommend it. However if you are contimplating getting one you decide first how you will use it. I tended to buy a lot of dies that I may or may not ever use. So I would suggest buying those dies only that you know you will use initially. The trip dies are always useful. Then decide if you are going to make a certain design and get those dies. You can overload on dies is what I'm saying.
For example if you are going to make a quilt from half square triangles and ill do it from triangles, then that die would be very useful. I have been cutting strips for a tube quilt and an do for a king size in a short time.
