I did a lot of research and though I wanted the Sizzix but I needed to have an electric because of hand and shoulder issues. I got the GO Big and love it. I buy the dies as I need them and I mark the dies so I have guidelines for where the cutting blades are and also lines for the minimum extra fabric that is needed. I can cut so very many pieces at a time and they are so accurate. Love it. It's pricy, but I got a good deal when I bought it and usually try to buy the dies on sale. The biggest issue I have is making sure I have enough room for some of the longer dies (the dining room table works best and the Go Big is easy to fold up and carry.
