If you will use it often, allows you to spend time sewing sooner or makes it easier for you physically, then go for it. I am not sure about the GO products but the Accuquilt Studio is heavy to move around-think a portable sewing machine with case on it. If you have space, then you that is a non-issue. About 6 years ago when I lived in the Pittsburgh PA area, a couple of the quilt shops had Studio cutters for rent so I was able to actually use one. If you can find a shop that has one go for a test drive.
