I have the Go and love it. Don't have that many dies yet, but I love the ones I have. Expecially the strip cutter. Mine was a little hard to turn to start with but it worked out in a day or two and is not a problem now.

Big difference....price/how much time spent using/space availability is to be considered.
I have the go and love it but if u use a lot of appliqués, studio cutter may be better?
I love using strips and the 5" the most

I have the Go and I would buy another one if it broke, no question. It is as important to me as my sewing machine. The only con I have for the Studio is the space it takes to keep it set up.
The dies cost more for the Studio but there are more dies to choose from. The Studio will cut more layers at one time.
The Go is easy to move and store. You can find Go dies at most shops.

I have the Go and love it. Fortunately I do have a sewing room, but it is also a spare bedroom, so I have to push my sewing machines to one side if I have guests. So I like the Go because it stays in the closet until I need it. Not to mention it goes on sale from time to time so you don't have to pay top dollar for it and can buy more dies.

I have a Studio and I consider it industrial strength. I wouldn't pay the money for it unless you *know* you are going to use the heck out of it. Not only is the cutter more expensive, so are all the dies. If you make lots of quilts each year, it might be worth it, but if you do it as a hobby, the Go! will probably be just fine.

I have a Go! If I had the dedicated space for it and the money, I would get the Studio (which I have seen on sale for $400, I think). Although the dies are more expensive, in my mind the ease of cutting and saved time cutting make the Studio worthwhile.
