I have a GO and many dies...am waiting now for flowering snowball die! I am pleased with it and do not regret buying it.......bought mine about three yrs ago when you could " shop" for a good price......in actuality the cost is not prohibitive...what did your sewing machine cost, the various feet that one has to buy.....and all those other gizmos and gadgets we accumulate.....it's all relative.......and worth the accuracy one gets from the cuts......
