I have a Bind It All and was wondering if the Cinch is easier to use than the Bind It All. Has anyone used both these machines? Which do you think is better?

I have both machines and always go to my (bigger) Cinch these days, mainly because it will bind a wider stretch than my little 4" wide Bind it All. Actually, I think the Cinch also offers more functionality with closing the spirals neatly as well, though I don't often use it to do that myself. I also prefer the round holes cut by my Cinch but that's such a small and pernickety preference and not really a reason to buy a new machine (or so I told myself )

My sister was asking what I wanted for Christmas and she asked if the Cinch was something I'd want. Since I have the Bind It All I couldn't justify getting another machine but since the Cinch seems to have more options (different hole shapes, wider punch area, etc) it might be worth me selling my Bind It All and getting the Cinch.

i had both versions (pink and blue) of the BIA and was so happy when the Cinch came out!! the cinch is so much more user friendly, it has a wider punching space and it is more steady to use. i got rid of my BIA once i realized the cinch was so much better. i have the square hole and circle hole versions of the Cinch. i buy off brand wires because they are so much cheaper than the cinch brand wires.

Okay, this "cinches" my decision. I will tell my sister to get me the cinch with the different hole shapes.
