I did a lot of research before I made my decision on a personal die-cutter. There were pros and cons on all of them. I decided on the WIZARD by spellbinders. I had to order it online because I didn't have a retailer nearby who carried it. The thing I like best about the Wizard is that it is universal. It will take the Spellbinder dies (I don't have any), Sizzix, Sizzlets and Quickcutz. It will also emboss using brass templates and fiskar texture templates. I do LOVE it. Thought I haven't used it enough yet. Here is the site for you to check it out.
