I have the very large, very heavy AccuQuilt Studio 2. I purchased only strip dies, in all sizes. I have the Studio permanently set up on one end of my cutting table, which consists of a solid core 36" door balanced on two short bookshelves. The dies are stored in the bookshelf at that end of the table. I realize this setup wouldn't work for everyone, but it works very well for me. I use the AccuQuilt a lot and am glad I purchased it before the prices went up so high. Of course I also cut with a rotary cutter when that makes more sense.
