I have the Accuquilt Go and the Sizzix Big Shot Pro. The BSP is much easier to use, I can use my Go dies in it and can use any of the Studio dies that aren't too wide for it, but there is the selection of Sizzix dies I can use. I can easily take my GO to my sewing group if I want--can't do that easily with the BSP. And they are good for much more than applique shapes. I love doing Rag Quilts by cutting my pieces with the die and the batting with another die--no clipping to do my hand!
