I have a Portrait (the small Silhouette). I use it a lot when I have a) lots of the same shapes and b) round shapes (like wheels). I would want to use it more for very small cuttings but it has a limit there.
But most of my cutting I do by hand as setting the cutter up, cutting and then storing away again takes me a while and my manual cutting is usually at least as precise and faster. So for me it only makes sense when I get a lot cut in one go. As a model developer this doesn't happen that much. Usually I design a bit, cut a bit, test and repeat.
Also when I have been cutting too much manually and I get problems in the shoulder it's a good alternative to relax the arm.
