I've enjoyed my Go cutter. I love the way the blocks go together. I've used the strip dies the most but have a lot of other dies. It's been about 5 years since I bought my Go. I've just added dies as I need or want them and always when they are on sale. I would advise to start slow to see if it's something you will use. I use mine often. And most important it is a good price that you were quoted!
