There are lots of videos including ones that show you the differences in them. The 2 has wifi, a larger editing screen, more designs and a few other things that are added but you also loose some things. Go to Brother's website and under the scan and cut you can compare the ones they have. For me the wifi isn't enough to get me to buy another one or the larger screen. I have the accuquilt and the scan n cut and love them both. I use my go mainly for the rag quilting where my daughter likes it to cut her 8in blocks for quilts. The scan n cut is great for all types of projects and with help from all of those videos out there the learning curve is not as steep as it used to be. Any accessories that come with the scan n cut can be used with all of them and you can buy what ever doesn't come with it.
