I have the GO and the amount of "wasted" fabric is miniscule......I collect all those little snippets into a basket and then make "pillows" for the local vet/surgery cages........When I was trying to decide Alto/GO, because of portability and ability to "stack" different sizes onto a die for cutting and availability of all the various die cuts and more always coming down, it made my choice easy, but as everything else, it is a personal thing.
