I have the Alto. It's a very well made quality item. I don't use it that much since I got the Go for cutting block pieces but it's fantastic for cutting bias strips. If you purchase it at the quilt show be sure and make it your last purchase. Believe me on this! It's way to heavy to tote around the show and almost too much to carry to your car or hotel room from the show. The Alto vendor has always been in the main quilt show usually on the second floor. I suggest buying it and having it shipped to your home if you will have to carry it any distance.
