I paid about $375 for my Go and full price for the first dies. I don't regret buying it at all. I think the prices are very reasonable now, even the Studio model has a low price. But I do think my Go, one of the first ones made, is heavier then the ones made now and I think the handle is much sturdier. I can tell a difference when using one of the newer ones. I know the first dies are better then the dies I buy now. Low price isn't always better.
