Default Genesis Trimmer - is it worth the $$?

Becky Higgins says the Genesis paper trimmer is the very best and she simply could not live without it. They are pricey!!! Are they worth the price and how so?

I have custody of one and absolutely love it. I did not buy this one and it is not technically mine. The person who owns it also has one at her house. So she has TWO Genesis cutters. You still must cut one sheet at a time, but it takes so much less time. Truly. I have to time myself when cutting paper for this other person, as I do it as a job, so I know how long it took me with my old Fiskars cutter and how quickly I can do the same amount of paper with the Genesis. I also like the little side-light thing - very helpful if you are cutting out an image or trying to trim a photo - you can see through the picture and know exactly where the cut will be. I would love one of my very own, but as long as I have temporary custody of this one, I'm a happy camper.

The one downside - you can't make cuts inside a piece of paper - like cutting out the middle - I do still need my old Fiskars cutter for that, and to do, for example, a flip-flop card.
