I would recommend the Studio (or GrandeMark) over the GO. I have the GO and love it, but I also bought the Sizzix Big Shot Pro--it is also easier to use, I can use the Studio and GO dies on it, and yes, you can cut a lot more at one time. I will continue to use the GO for some things, but the BSP for the majority of my cutting. They are just a much sturdier machine than the GO.
