The Brother has a distinct advantage over the Cricut in that it has a built in scanner. That means you can put your model on the cutting mat and it will find the outlines of the pieces without having to go through a lot of additional processing. The machine knows exactly where your pieces are located so there are no extra steps involved in lining up the cuts.
Hands down the ScanNCut wins out over the Cricut for the purpose of cutting around pre-printed paper models. It is worth saving up the extra money for it. It might not be a perfect machine but for the pre-printed paper model hobby use it has some real advantages over the other craft cutters in the price range of under $400.00. It think it comes down to do you want to save a few hundred bucks or is the cost savings worth fussing with lots of extra time when you want to cut something new?
