I'm lazy. I use the Go or use pre cuts for all the quilts I've made in the last few years. I haven't found any pattern I want to make I can't cut with the Go. When this Go wears out I'll buy the Studio. I bought one of the first Go machines it's been about 7 years ago and it's still works like new. I don't baby it at all. I cut anything that will go between the rollers.
