I don't have the mat, but I love my june tailor shape cutter for the strips.......it's one of the best purchases I have made!
Again I am the oddball, while june tailor is not a self healing mat it lasts a really long time, and I love mine over my olfa, but that is just my personal preference. To each his own. I love june tailor mats as well as there shape cutters for strips. I have had my mat since 2005 and it is still going. Also have a new one haven't used it yet though, but they were fazing them out at walmart so picked one up.

Industry uses hard surface cutting mats because the surface lasts longer. But the main reason is because blades don't cut into the mat but roll over the mat, staying sharper longer. Self healing mats are soft and the rotary blade cuts the mat thus self healing. I keep a June Taylor mat in the trunk of my car for classes/sewdays. It doesn't warp.
