I have one which I purchased around Christmas time. I think it will be great for applique, but not as great for cutting out a quilt. But as with anything, it is worth it if it is what you want... and not everybody wants or needs the same things.
But, I have to say that I am making a wall hanging and I scanned in an image of a vintage sewing machine, the ScannCut cut it out of the fabric beautifully and the detail was amazing.
Horses for courses!
