I love my 45" bt that is the size I feel most comfortable using I think the bigger vs smaller is personal preference a sharp blade is the most important thing to me

Thanks to everyone who chimed in on this thread - sounds like the large rotary saves time and money, since the blade lasts longer and you can cut through more layers. (although with my small amount of experience - I'm only attempting a couple of layers max)

I also find that no matter how hard I press down on the ruler (been using a 12x12" tonight) the cutter wants to push the ruler making me have to line it up again, half way through the cut - grrr frustrating.

If you can purchase those little self stick sandpaper dots, they are helpful if you have trouble keeping your rulers from moving. They are also very cheap.
