Default Do you have the PM quilting rulers?

Here is a link to their website (which is not very good). http://www.pmquilting.com/SearchResu...x=0&Search.y=0

And here are links to Youtube videos on using these rulers:

The first video demo is of their 6" wide ruler; they now also have a 10" wide ruler.

Ever since someone posted a question about these after seeing them at a quilt show, I have been tempted to buy them. For my next quilt, I am thinking of 5" squares and 1" sashing with cornerstones. Seems to me this would make the cutting easier. However, the bundles are quite expensive, so I am cautious about making a purchase error.

Would like to hear about others' experiences with these rulers. I am especially wondering if the Martelli cutters are compatible with them. (In the past I found the Martelli 45mm did not work well in a June Tailor shapecut mat.) In the future I will probably be using the Martelli cutters for almost all of my cutting. The PM rulers must stand higher than the usual cutting ruler in order to accommodate so many layers of fabric, so the cutter must be able to clear the edge.

Also wondering if there is any reason to get both the 6" and 10" AQRS rulers. Any issues with storage? I already have a varied collection of rulers acquired over the years, so adding a whole bunch of new rulers may not be smart for me. Purchasing individually seems a lot more expensive, though, especially since in the future I may want to make sashing strips and cornerstones a different size.

All input welcome!
