Yeah, Silhouette would be the preferred brand for me. I've had a Silhouette Cameo for several years, and have been totally happy with it. Silhouette's software isn't the greatest, but it's serviceable, and for those that want to do a bit more with them, there's an Inkscape extension [github.com] to allow you to print to the cutter.

Was about to order one as a gift for the sister in law. Now this is off the table.
Silhouette is the other option? I know nothing about these things.
