I bought one for myself for my 60th birthday and I love it. Shop around online for the best prices -- which are probably not on the Accuquilt site. One tip for when you get ready to get more dies -- be sure to fill out surveys at the Accuquilt site and also write little reviews on products and patterns. You will build up points that can be used towards a purchase.
I love it for fast piecing and especially hexes.
