You should totally get the Pazzles. This is where I got it and it is $10 less than the current price on Overstock!
If you get it from them (or anywhere other than directly from Pazzles for that matter), make sure to confirm that it comes with the new 2010 software, not the old version. I actually paid to upgrade my software because I got my machine a few years ago and wanted to be able to make rhinestone templates, but make them confirm it's the new version and if not, make them include it. (It has many more upgrades as well).
Another option is to get it from Pazzles directly and do the deal where you pay for the membership for their craft room and get the machine for much less ($99 or $199) I do not have the paid membership and have no feedback for you on whether or not it is worth it, but the machine for $199 and one year membership deal only ends up totalling $20 more than the price on the site I linked above, and if I were buying one today I would probably do that package.
HTH!
Re: **OrangeBlossom** - Pazzles
Some of the things that I have cut/made are cupcake toppers/wrappers, favor tags for my wedding favors and also for a friend's, vinyl for various things, stencils for glass etching, fabric...I am hoping for the pastry kit for xmas!
Good luck on the move and getting settled in. Having a dedicated spot to craft is going to be awesome!
