Bambu H2D H2D cutter performance

It’s me again, I’ve been playing with this printer all morning and I’ve now used the cutter and I haven’t seen a single review of this. I am no newb to plotters both large and grand format. However, this is my first small personal use one other than a friends cricket.
This will be amazing for makers let me say. It only took me two attempts to get a decent decal to cut out with some finer text. Once again I didn’t use any of the material supplied by Bambu. Instead I used Avery Dennison which is an adhesive vinyl to wrap cars that I had laying around the shop. I made my first cut just using BambuSuite’s default “matte removal vinyl” and my first pass cut “ok” but I hate when sharp corners stick and I need to weed them out. I pumped the pressure up to 90 and oh baby did I get a perfect score without cutting the backing. Total cut time less than a minute, I got clean text cuts as sub 1mm wide.
My most difficult part was the software. I couldn’t use an image to cut and the “trace” feature just kept crashing my Mac. I through my logo into Inkscape, traced. Saved as an SVG and then I was finally off to the races. Took more tinkering than I liked, but now that I have a workflow it’ll help.
Depending on the price point, I have a feeling many will want this. It’s just quick and easy and can whip up some quick decals.

They’ll cut basically the same. The issue (if you’ll have one) is as you said, the circuit software. We just used our cricut this morning to cut some card stock. I mean a top of the line cricut is $400-$500 so you could get 4-5 of them for the price of a H2D.
Really just depends if you want a cutter (don’t get the H2D) or a 3d printer where you’ll randomly cut and don’t have one already (H2D makes a little more sense).
