cricut – which one small or large?

I want to buy a cricut and was going to get the first model from Amazon for cheap but my friend is trying to pressure me into buying a package deal for the large cricut for 3 times the cost. I plan on using it to make cards and scrapbooking (I don’t go overboard with details). She’s telling me that I’m going to want to do this and that with it and regret my decision. I figure that if have the need to upgrade I can just sell it back on Bay or something.

So what is your take on it? Does the small cricut do what you need it to or did you regret it and wish you went for the upgrade?

Get the large one. You’ll be glad you did.
