Looking for a program to cut 3d models. The Artcam Express demo of cutting a sign shows some very impressive features. My hobby budget does not have Artcam Pro or Insignia in it's future.

Anyone using Express have any comments on it ease of use and features? Can models made in ArtcamPro be cut in express?

Getting ready to spend $300.00 on other 3d software and wondering if I should save a few more $$ and go for Express.

Thanks for any input.
