the go is a great machine. it works. all the time. don't try to compare the simplicity strip cutter to it. there is no comparison. the go works, it is simple and easy. and it is fun. i got the 2 1/2 strip cutter for the go and marked it like they said. diamonds are quick and easy. i will be getting the double wedding ring die and the rose of sharon die. and the hex. and ........ as many as i can. lol. it is well worth the money.
