Default Spray starch vs Magic Sizing?

I just spent over an hour ironing small, 5"x8" up to 1/2 yard pieces from my stash for a scrappy quilt. I used a full can of spray starch and when I ran out, I used Magic Sizing. Didn't notice a whole lot of difference in the hand of the material when I was done. Are there any advantages to using one over the other? I don't normally use products but since I dusted off the Accuquilt GO(which I haven't used for at least 3-4 years), I thought 2 1/2" squares might need a little starch before cutting. Wow! I forgot how quick and easy cutting was with this gadget! I could cut 54 squares in the time it would take me to cut 20 squares, even using my June Taylor! Thanks to everyone who talked about using their GO. I was ready to sell mine from lack of use, but this has changed my mind!
