HELP - What Cricut tomorrow?!

[adventure_woman]

This will be my first cricut. What is the difference btw the Expression and Expression 2?

I am debating btw - JoAnn's Expression - 159 and Michaels Expression 2 - 199. Thoughts?!?

I would probably go for the expression 2 because of the mat preview, wireless adapter and I believe you can cut different sized pieces at the same time.

To be honest though, I'd check out the Cameo. It's similar to the silhouette but it cuts up to 12". It is not reliant on cartridges like the cricuts so you are able to cut any font on your computer as well as SVG files which are found all over the web for free. I read some really good reviews and it's on my list for next year. (I already have an expression) It's available at ohmycrafts.com for $230 using this coupon code BLACK15

If it were me I'd go with the E2, you don't need to overlays and there is a light inside the machine so you can see what's its doing. That was a big thing I disliked about the original E.
