Trying to figure out which one I should go with ... if $$ were no object (not saying it isn't - just taking it out of the equation), which would you go with? Which is better? Thanks!

Thank you, Jesus, for all the blessings you give me every day!

Personally I would go with the Fiskars Ultra Shape Express. My main reason for that is the variety of templates that are available for it vs. the number available for the CM system. Here is a link to all of the templates that are available for the Fiskars system ~ FiskarsCrafts.com A new way to look at crafting online!. I'm actually getting ready to invest in the USX in the next few weeks. I already have some of the template for it and one thing I have noticed is how heavy duty they are. The templates are made of thick, heavy plastic. They are also hole punched for easier storage. I keep mine in a 3 ring binder.

I've used both many times and I think the CM system cuts SIGNIFICANTLY better! I would go that route.

I have both, the fiskers was given to me, but I have to say the CM cuts better, but the fiskers has way more shapes. I use both for different things.

Just out of curiosity, for the two of you who say the CM cuts better, how long have you had the Fiskars cutter? They had to redesign it because it had some issues and it now works much, much better than the original. It is also designed to be used on a glass cutting mat. The mat makes a huge difference in the cut.
