I think all in all - If you are designing mostly in Illustrator like I was prior to using Silhouette's software, you'll find Connect's value in how much faster the workflow will be from design straight to cutting. Silhouettes's software has a nifty feature in making dotted lines and thats a lot more manual in Illustrator with Connect (researched this a bunch and if anyone can teach me the trick in Illustrator to do so without manipulating each line on its own, please tell me!). Thinking about it a bit more, the one feature that I miss from the main Silhouette software but have developed work arounds for are dotted lines (for the VERY few times I need that). That said, I can only speak to what I use it predominantly for (relatively simple paper related crafts). I can also specify that by layer or by object color.

I'm able to cut at different depths and forces in addition to loading up pre-set cut material settings similarly in Connect as well as Silhouette's software.

In terms of what I need my Cameo to do, there aren't any drawbacks that I can recognize. Other Machines: have a Cricut, Big Shot, or other cutting machine? This flair is for you.
