Jim, that was a *great* post!

I've been chronically shopping for a mat cutter for a while now, and
am planning to [someday] buy the Logan 650 (a.k.a. the Framer's Edge).
Most of the less-than-great reviews that I've read about it are
comparing it cutters like the C&H Advantage Pro ($900-ish and up) or
the Fletcher 2100 ($1000 and up).  On its own merits, people seem to
like the 650 just fine.

It also seems to be the cheapest cutter that will handle thicker (6
and 8-ply) mats.

I'd love to find a second hand one, but they don't seem to exist.
That should be comforting, I guess (unless they break down so badly
that people just chuck them...).
