Default which is best choice???

I have read alot about the cuttlebug, big kick and big shot. which do you all think is better?? I have looked at them too. just can't decide, I have some of the embosssing folders for the cuttle bug, use them with the rolling pin! works great, thanks for the tip. I'm leaning towards the big shot, seems like the big kick and big shot are pretty close in the way they work and are made.
anyone who can give advice or tell me what you ahve found out from use.
what is the best place to buy? saw big kick on costco.com only.
thanks for your help,

I just got my BigKick last Wednesday and really love it. I decided on the BigKick over Cuttlebug because its more sturdy than Cuttlebug. Did you read about JulieHRR's comparisons of the die cutting machines - Cuttlebug, Big Shot/Big Kick. Her review is very informative. http://papertrufflez.typepad.com/pap...tting_mac.html
Hope this will help you with your choice. I bought my BigKick at Costco.com.

I have the cuttlebug and love it. The embossing folders are great.

I got a BigShot and love it! I also read Julie's comparison of the two and it swayed me to the BigShot. It's sturdy and smooth and so nice! It works great with the Cuttlebug embossing folders too!

The Big Shot and Big Kick are the same machines essentially - the only difference is in colour and style.

I'd recommend getting whichever one comes with a Multi Purpose Platform - 'cos then you'll be able to use your Cuttlebug embossing folders straight away!

I've had my Big Kick a few weeks now and I love it and am very pleased with performance etc. I'm totally happy to recommend (and enable LOL!)

I've had a Big Shot since October and am totally in love with it. It's very sturdy and easy to use. It sits permanently on my crafting table.
