Cameo or Silhouette? Which is best, folks?

[Looch]

Well, there it is in the thread title. I am thinking about buying one for my pep work, so which one do the majority think is the best? Thoughts? Wait, are those names the same machine or different? As you can see, I have no idea!

Silhouette is the brand and Cameo is the model. I have an earlier version, but I only use for cutting vinyl or paint masks.

You can find them at Micheal's for between $169.-$200...GM

Own one of these myself.

My opinion, if you're in to pep, then a Cameo is a must. Saves you tons of time cutting.

Alrighty, good tips all. So, there is no specific model that is better than another, ie: Cameo mark 2, etc?

Just Cameo or Portrait. Portrait is not recommended for the pep software.

I've got the Cricut Explore. Same thing but different brand. Personally I prefer Cricut to Sillouette but it's just personal preference.

I thought the Cricut was for cutting thicker stuff? Like foam and thick fabric.

It's got settings that range from super thin (light paper) through to heavy stuff like leather.
