I've looked at this one, and the Silhouette Cameo. From what I understand, you can hook up the Silhouette to your PC to cut out pics. With the Brother you have to scan the pic first and run it through, or use a USB. That's the only difference I've seen. I'm waiting to hear more reviews on cutting fabric - most of the reviews for both of these are for cutting paper. But they both sure look interesting!!
