Got my Cameo from the NEC Graphtec stand and yes I did pay £10 more than the other stands but when I queried it I was told that the machine I had bought had the $10 download card in it. Anyway I wasnt bothered really cos all I wanted was the machine which is a dream. I have cut 400gsm mirri board on blade setting 8 and it cut through it like cutting through soft butter. And I used my A4 cutting mat from robo to test it cos I dont want to spoil my 12 x 12 cutting mat yet.
