(I also posted on the scrapbooking page...but I don't know how often those are visited).

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?!?

it will be a digital touch screen
it will cut imagine cartridges (no printing just cutting)
it will have the ability to be wireless for use with cricut craft room

here's a video http://www.cricut.com/movies/videov3.aspx (see the second video)

I personally would get Expression 2 if stores are equal distance/comvient for you as there are some cute imagine carts out there but either one is great.

I just looked at the Menards ad too - they have an Expression for 119? Would there be any difference btw their Expression and the one at JoAnn's? (I normally don't shop Menards)

One at menards includes cutting mat and playtime and classic font carts.

from what I can find online for joanns theirs comes with
As an added bonus, this holiday bundle also comes with the Spring Fever Holiday cartridge and the Winter's in the Air Holiday cartridge. These special cartridges feature images from a variety of our popular cartridges but it also says online exclusive. I'd go to menards myself just because I'd think less madness, better chance of actually getting one.
For myself Joanns is in one direction ( right by all the madness of mall, best buy etc.) menards other way not much around it except schools
