Default Quickest way to cut 2.5"D circles?

I don't need the circles to be exact because I plan to needle turn them to get a 2" finished circle. But I need 156 circles and have tendonitis in my thumb so cutting with scissors gets painful before long.

I've looked at a bunch of different tools -- die cut machines, Olfa circle cutter (though, I think that only cuts 1 circle at a time), 18mm rotary cutter, etc. I'm just not sure which way to go. I'm not really sure I want to invest in a die cut machine for a single quilt; perhaps I could ask if someone in quilt guild is willing to barter for use of her machine.

Cutting is my least favorite part of quilting. Any suggestions on how to make this process easier would be greatly appreciated!
