I have the Accuquilt and love it, folds up nice and can be stored away. Went through my old jeans and figured I'd make a jean rag got through a large stack very quickly - used all three die sizes to avoid waste. Bought myself the Sizzix Big Shot for Christmas ( a price I could not pass up), just unpacked it yesterday but have not tried it yet.... may have to play with that some this evening! Interesting information - thanks!
