Anyone have a preference? The new Bigshot is pink and black, so rather gorgeous I love you

but the Cuttlebug is nifty and easy to store... drunken

Have a vote and tell us what you think?

I had to go for big shot...even though I want the new big shot....I'm so happy with the one I've already go and it will last me forever...or until I feel I can justify buying the black and pink one lol.

It's so much more stable that then cuttlebug andI can't wai to play with the movers and shapers when they come out...and I must try the texture plates!!

i dont have a die cutter, i dont feel i'm missing out though, cant really see how i'd benefit, but does this poll mean that you discount the cricut altogether,
i haven't really looked into the advantages of any die cutter.
if anyone has experience of more than one of any of them i would be interested in their opinions, maybe i could make up my mind if it's worth my while or not.

I absolutly love my Cuttlebug. I use it mainly to emboss, it's so easy to use and the end results are brilliant Very Happy

I had to decide between that one and the wee birds and branches... I'd like that one next time Very Happy

Sold out of both now (still have some of the other new ones though), so waiting more supplies... especially as I don't have the wee birdies yet

I'm a big shot gal to! I've got the new pink and black one ... it's beautiful ... I also have the Revolution as I love the Quickutz dies, but when I saw the Cuttlebug embossing folders, I new I had to branch out in a different area ... I think the Big Shot is more stable and versatile! Very Happy

We had another die delivery yesterday... I'm addicted Very Happy

I've my eye on the original birthday cake, and the decorative strip baby cars. Have to wait a bit as just had the dress ups body and few outfits (dd loves making them up, and it's so easy for her) Very Happy

I haven't got either, are there are any major differences between the two?

Initially I would say space! If you have the room to leave the BS out (it's not that much bigger), then I would definitely favour it over the CB. The BS is made by Sizzix, the original die people, and is sturdier. Up till now they both took all dies, but Sizzix have just realease some new dies that are too big for the CB, which definitely gives the BS the edge

but... if space is an issue, the CB can be folded smaller for storage!
