To gocco or not to gocco

That is the question that is driving me nuts.  I have seen so many amazing things made with the gocco that I feel compelled to get one myself.  But the $100 price along with another $50 shipping from Japan puts it a tad out of reach.  Plus the fact that hubby and I already do screen printing on t-shirts, I feel like it is a little redundant.  However the ease of printing and the fact that it is all self contained makes it easy to do in our little apartment.  Supposed according to savegocco.com, the newer versions will be available in the states at a major retailer this summer.   *sigh* - what to do...
