Choosing my first vinyl cutter, help needed

[Choosing my first vinyl cutter, help needed]

Thanks for all the replies. I think I will go for something other than a Cameo to give me more options, I just need to see if I can buy a stand separate as all the refurbished units are without stands.

Thanks for all the replies, I can see how a stand would be helpful. Am I correct in assuming that all three of the US Cutter machines can cut the same material as the Cameo so my wife and daughter can also use it for scrap booking and crafts?

[Choosing my first vinyl cutter, help needed]

Hello all.  I've been lurking on this site for a bit now and am close to being ready to order a cutter.  I was originally set on buying a Silhouette Cameo, partially due to the cost, partially due to the ease of use.  

 

My main plan is to cut stencils for painting ammo cans and making window stickers.  I don't anticipate needing more than a 12" but you never know what the future holds.  

 

Looking at the refurbished cutters for sale here there are three other units in my price range:

 

25" USCutter LaserPoint II Vinyl Cutter 

25" USCutter SC Series Vinyl Cutter

34" USCutter MH Series

 

I do like the idea of a wider cut range as the vinyl I have read that is best for a paint mask starts at a 15" width so I'd have to find another solution if I bought the Cameo.

 

The other reason I was attracted to the Cameo is that my wife and daughter would like to use the cutter to do crafts, can you do craft style work on the USCutter machines?

 

Any thoughts/suggestions?  

 

Thanks,
Steve
