I don't own any of these machines (yet), but from my understanding of all the reading that I have done is that the BigKICK, BigSHOT and the Cuddlebug all do the same things. I've also read that the BigKICK (by Sizzix) and BigSHOT (by Ellision) are the *exact* same product with the exception of color. If you refer to the sticky at the top of this forum called "Cuttlebug FAQs" it will give you much more info that I could ever type here. HTHs!
