I can do my own designs so I do have that software. I was always frustrated with the precut dies as I always wanted something that wasn't available. That goes for the Sizzix as well as the Cricut. I tend to use the Big Shot if I want to emboss paper. How many silhouettes of a Triumph Spitfire have you seen? I can think of usage for a quilt with that particular car. I'd have to figure out where to set blade, and what stabilizer to use.
