What do you want to do with it? I have the original non-folding Studio and love it. It is good to get the Studio on sale. I started with the Go's, but found them lacking and I am definitely glad I bought it.
Will you use all the dies that are in the starter set? If not, you may want to buy as you go, since they do have sales on the dies as well.

Does anyone know if you can use accuquilt dies in the studio. My MIL inherited a studio that sits in the garage collecting dust. I know she will give it to me if I ask but was wondering if the accuquilt dies will work. Do they just require a shim

Ebony Love is an expert on die cutters. She can answer any question about all of them. She posts regularly on the Accuquilt Facebook group page. Everything you want to know is posted on that group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/accuquiltandbeyond/
I have the Go, the Go Baby, and the Go Big. I won the Go Baby, bought the Go and got the Go Big as a gift. I rarely use my rotary cutter anymore. I don't have the studio because it takes up a lot of room but I sure would take one if it was available to get for free. There are many more dies for the studio then the Go and a lot for sewing other then quilting, like totes, bags, aprons, etc.

It will all depend on how much you do those kinds of quilts? I bought the Go because of the size and because it accomodates the type of dies I need. I don't belong to a guild so it is just my friend and I that use it. The Go Baby was too small. But the Studio was to big for my needs. So determine what you will do with it - kind of like buying a sewing machine with a lot of bells and whistles you know you won't use.

You can use almost any brand in the Studio. I have used both my Go dies and Sizzix dies with the adapters. I agree with Onebyone about Ebony and would recommend her book, "The Big Little Book of Fabric Die Cutting Tips." It is very helpful.
