I love my Sizzix. It's heavy, but I love the die cuts available and it comes in handy for every occassion I need to use it for (the tea pot was a perfect little pocket for a tea bag on the front of my sister's baby shower tea party invitations!).
The problem with the Sidekick is that it only uses the Sizzlits-- not the original Sizzix dies, which are bigger. So, you're limited to what you can use with it- although the fact that it travels is nice.
I would say, if you will travel a lot with it, get the Sidekick; otherwise, get the original Sizzix machine that you can use all the original dies PLUS the sizzlits (just make sure to get the converter for the Sizzlits).
Have Fun!
