Personally I do not like my EZ3. I do not find it to be the least bit easy. But, you really never know till you try so for $75 if you think you would like it I say go for it. I will still use mine (when I get a bigger house cause we don't have room for it in this house lol) but I think I like using a hoop now. Although I have only done a small quilt in a hoop, a big one might change my mind again.
