Oh, and I would buy every die Accucut sells, of course!įor the accucut dies. If I had to do it all over again and I had all the money in the world, I would get the Accucut Mark IV and the Big Shot all over again. So, in two years, I have amassed about 350 dies. I will say that its a bit big to use with Sizzlits, so I did buy a BigShot to handle the small stuff. plus you can use all the Sizzix dies, too. with the 50% off sales they have 2x/year. I love all the boxes and bags that Accucut sells. who cares about that? I'm never selling it! I would have gotten the GrandeMark, but the difference between the Mark IV and GM, is that with the Giant dies, you do need larger than a 12x12 paper. I love my Accucut system! Its been two years since I bought my Mark IV, and now, I don't know how i could live without it! Its funny that, at the beginning of this thread, I said I was concerned about resale value. (If I really had to, though, I'd approach a school since they may be more familiar with it than other crafters.) I do not anticipate dumping this machine. I'm not considering any resale value, however. Therefore, long term upkeep will be cheaper. Even if I don't want the big stuff, I figured, for the same price, why not buy the one that does more?ģ) The replacement parts of the Grandemark are cheaper (cutting mats and the die cutting tray). The reason I chose the Grandemark over the BSP was because:ġ) At the time, the machine cost was the same.Ģ) The Grandemark can cut everything the BSP can plus bigger. (And it's not pretty, so if you are particular about having a gorgeous studio, the Grandemark is a little industrial looking.) It truly is a behemoth that pretty much needs its own desk. The Grandemark has a larger footprint than the BSP. I went with the Accucut Grandemark because I did want some giant dies (that don't need larger than 12 x 12 paper) and I got it for the same price as the BSP with a sale. So, if you are not interested in super sized dies, then you can consider the two machines equal in capabilities. Some of the Giant Size dies, however, do require larger than 12 x 12 paper. The BSP can take ANY Accucut dies EXCEPT the Giant Size, which is the largest size. The Accucut Grandemark can cut larger shapes, if you are interested in larger 3D boxes and forms. The BSP will resell better to other crafters.
