For me, the strip dies were a waste of money. I never use them. I LOVE the log cabin die, the triangle dies and the multiple square dies, and the hexagon die. I like the smaller of the drunkards path, but the larger one was too big and not one I would have bought. It's all personal preference, and depends on what you actually use. Most of mine were gifts, so I'm grateful for ALL of them.. just like some better than others.
