Default Cricut for custom EPP shapes

I have been hemming and hawing about getting a Cricut Maker. Now my goto store for all things -- Costco -- has it on their web site. Of course, they're bundling it with a kit I may never use, but it's Costco, so the extra cost is worth it for the low risk of buying (can return it if it doesn't suit the need).

I'm wondering if people have used them for custom EPP shapes, things outside of the basic hexagon, diamond, etc. I want to do "kites and crowns" and things like that. Is it fairly easy to set shapes like that up (I have a fair amount of experience with graphic design software)? Does the Maker cut them accurately? I've heard the margin of error can be up to 5 cm! WOW, that's too much. Is that true?

Does anyone know of resources where people may have set up more intricate EPP shapes on Cricut?

While the Maker cuts fabric, I'll most likely use it entirely for card stock, but it would be nice to have the added functionality just in case.

Thoughts?
