Cricut Expression vs. Expression 2

So - My BDAY is next week and I have a feeling DH bought me one and I think he got the Expression - I reached a little and see there is a 2 now -

If Dh got the reg. Expression should I exchange it for the 2 or just keep the one he got...

I currently have the original Cricut machine....

THANKS,
Christine

Re: Cricut Expression vs. Expression 2

I have an Expression. When the 2 came out, my DH was upset and wanted to get it for me. The "extra" features it has are:
1) will cut images from Imagine cartridges;
2) wireless hookup to computer to use Design Studio software or Craftroom.
3) Touch screen - no buttons.

I watched a bunch of videos, and the big launch on HSN when it came out, and for me personally, the only feature that was interesting was the wireless function. I still have my original Expression. If I was inclined to get a new machine, I would get a Silhouette because you don't need cartridges, and there are so many free .svg files. On the other hand, if I had gotten MTC or SCAL before they were sued by Provo Craft, I might feel differently.
