I have the GO and it has definitely encouraged me to try patterns that I might have avoided because of the cut being so imperative to getting it right. I have many dies and would love to have some of the new ones, but right now the expense is something I can live without. The GO is definitely worth every penny and I use it on just about every project. It is particularly helpful with applique pieces; i.e. the daisy, circles, funky flower. baby duck and baby bear. The daisy die has leaves and stems included, sure helps.
