Veena, If you want to take a drive over my way, I have a GX-24. I am so glad I bought it! If you have any experience with vector art, the cutting software is easy to understand and use. I initially did not buy a stand but added it later. I did go to training in Irvine. It was nice but not necessary. I bought extra blades. but nothing more. I use thermoflex plus for my garment vinyl mostly because it there is a local distributor that if I have to I can go pick up what I need rather than wait for next day delivery.

The price difference is about 1200 and wanted to see which one would do the task for me. I would be using this for heat applied graphics, may be for banners, and vehicle decals. What are the pros and cons of one or the other? How have you liked it? Does it come with any software? What is the learning curve? How easy is it to cut from vector art software (corel, illustrator)? What did you buy with your initial set? Do I need to get a stand or is the table top better? What else do I need to look for that I have missed? Appreciate your response.
