I have the regular accuquilt go. I would say that was worth it, but i would not be able to justify the cost of the larger one (I still have the capability of managing the crank, so that is not an issue for me). i find the cost of the dies most prohibitive, as you do have to find the right size for each cut. I got mine with a package that included multiple dies that also had an eleanor burns book full of patterns made only from that selection of dies, so that was helpful and made it feel more versatile. but honestly, I have only cut fabric for one quilt with it. while I have intention of using it more, i jsut haven't. but for some reason, I am still happy to have it.
