Default Big Shot or Big Shot Express

Ladies I need your opinions fast. For those of you whom have had a Big Shot and now have a Big Shot Express... which do you prefer? I need the pros and cons of each of these items. THANKS

I don't have express but the biggest reason I won't get one is because you have to be near an outlet to use it. If you go to crops or don't want to have to be near an outlet you might want to stick with the regular Big Shot.

I am perfectly happy with my Big Shot. Not thinking of purchasing the BS Express...the only advantage for the wider bed on the Express would be to cut those Bigz XL boxes (or is it XXL?) and that's not really my thing. With the purchase of the Essentials platform, the Extended Adapter and the pair of Extended cutting pads, I'm all set. The BS Express just takes up too much room on my table, and then, too, it has to be plugged in.

I have the Cuttlebug and I am also debating getting the BS Express so I can avoid cranking due to wrist problems. Anyone out there have the BS Express? I am interested to hear if you like it and feel it is worth it.

Default Big shot or big shot express

Hello! I had the big shot and loved it. I was having trouble with my wrist and decided to sell it and I then purchased the express, love it!! The only difference between the two is that the express is electric. The width of the base is the same on both. The express is very quick, press and hold the button down and in just a couple seconds it's done!! It really is a wonderful tool. If you go to you tube and put in the big shot express you should be able to see a video on it.
